This is a special sound card for the Raspberry Pi, optimised for one specific use case: affordable high-quality audio playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the major restrictions of the Raspberry Pi since the beginning has been the limitation of 2 audio channels. While this is fine for most applications, there are use cases where you would like to use more than 2 output channels, such as home theatre or spatial audio. There are lots of other applications too: playing 4 independent stereo streams on the same Pi or even creating software-based crossovers for 4-way speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hifiberry\"\u003eHiFiBerry\u003c\/a\u003e DAC8x offers 8 channels of high-quality audio output up to 192kHz sample rate for your Raspberry Pi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe driver development for the DAC8x took us longer than expected as the Raspberry Pi 5 audio subsystem is still very new.
