Probably it is wise to make two partitions. SSD drives are much faster, more reliable when powering off and have a longer lifetime.īooting from SSD is supported by Raspberry Pi models 3B and 4. Probably the best and cheapest way is to use an USB SSD drive. The capacitor might become too hot and start leaking and thus damaging the print. The two capacitors of 4700 uF are placed in parallel after the resistor and connected to ground.Ĭheck that the electrotrolytic capacitors are mounted with the right polarity!ĭo not place the capacitor at the right hand side above de DAC chip! The ceramic capacitor is connected between the connection of inductor and resistor and ground.

The inductor and resistor are placed in series and replace R14. The filter consists of an inductor two ceramic capacitors, a resistor of 22 Ohm and two capacitors of 4700 uF/10V (Conrad art.number 422027). So adding a passive filter before the voltage regulator assures that the noise from the Raspberry doesn't reach the DAC.Īdding this filter improved the audio quality a lot! I cannot tell the difference with the high-end DAC anymore!įirst you have to remove R14 (0 Ohm) SMD resistor. I think the reason for this is the noisy power supply of the Raspberry Pi.Īlthough the board has a buit-in voltage regulator, this does not work well for high frequency noise that comes from the power supply. Unfortunately, the difference was rather big: the stereo image was not very detailed and it sounded a bit dull.

External USB CD/DVD player with own power supplyĪfter the modification (see below), it sounds fabulous!Īt first, I compared the HifiBerry DAC+ Pro against my other media player with a high-end DAC ('B-DAC', 1200 euro).

To improve the audio quality dramatically: add some filtering in the power supply (resistor + capacitor) see pictures below.

For programming you need a USB (micro) card reader and SD adapter

Micro SD card (buy a fast and reliable one).

Raspberry PI (I prefer model 3B+ above model 4 because of lower power consumption and less heat production).

It seems as if the guy with the DSP knowledge has left the company? The HifiBerry DAC+ DSP allows you to do room correction.Īnd there is still an issue: when music is very soft (e.g. speech or meditative music), the output is muted shortly, which is very annoying. HifiBerry has released new and better DAC boards which I didn't tried out yet.

This manual is useful if you need to install Node-Red for controlling room correction filters. There is so much to configure!Īlternatives (in most cases much easier then what is presented here): PicorePlayer and Max2Play. Originally I started this page as a log book for myself.
