I bought this to fit to a Pi Zero running a Squeezelite (piCorePlayer) client in my kitchen. Assembled, programmed and up and running in half an hour - and running really well. I'm impressed by the sound quality and can't get my head around the fact that the whole device (Pi & DAC shim) cost less than £30.

Very cool thing, installs very easily, but sad that it should be soldered for good contact.

I already had the Audio Amp SHIM, so I knew this would work perfectly.

This is my second one of these. They sound great. Be aware they are quite fiddly to solder to the pi. This time around soldered my own header on, which de-risks messing up a whole Pi if you get it wrong! Think you only need to solder one row of pins based on one row being round (to be soldered) and another oval (presumably not to be soldered) given the marginal cost and faff other options are available and hence my 4 /5 score.

I installed this on a RPi zero 2 W with PiCorePlayer installed, and fed the output into an old Bose Soundlink Mini that I had lying around. The audio quality is very good (for the price). Much better than my squeezebox radio
