High-Quality Audio Playback

These audio hat expansion shields for the Raspberry Pi fit directly on the GPIO and will dramatically improve the audio quality on the popular mini computer. The main X400 model includes a built-in high fidelity headphone amplifier with a 3.5 mm audio jack. It has two digital amplifier output ports and allows you to connect external speakers. You can also use it to turn your Raspberry Pi into a lossless audio player or network radio with an OS image. Best of all, no soldering or wiring is necessary. You can also upgrade to the X600 version, which decodes and separates voices from HDMI signals. It supports Dolby Digital AC-3, LPCM, and other formats, too.

Note: At checkout, choose between the X400 expansion shield and the X600 expansion shield (+ $5). You can also add a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (+ $35), the SainSmart ES120 rechargeable screwdriver (+ $89.99), and the SainSmart Pro 32-piece soldering tool set (+ $59.99).
