    The BOSS DAC Shield is a sound card add-on for Raspberry Pi designed for high-quality audio playback. It features a 384 kHz/32-bit DAC, dual master clock oscillators supporting sampling rates up to 384 kHz, and outputs audio through RCA connectors or an ALLO Volt Amp header. The BOSS connects directly to the Raspberry Pi's 40-pin header and uses a Texas Instruments DAC chip along with ultra-low-noise oscillators to generate bit-perfect clock signals for high fidelity audio output.

    MANUAL
    BOSS DAC
    BOSS DAC Shield has been designed for those seeking audio perfection. It comes with
    built-in Dual Master Clock Oscillators to support 44.1K & 48K series sampling rate audio
    playback. These are specially designed sound cards - compatible with RPI- 2 & 3
    versions.

    BOSS DAC Features:

     Dedicated 384 kHz/32bit high-quality DAC PCM5122 for best sound quality
     Audio output connectors: 2 x RCA (Left & Right) & ALLO Volt Amp header
     DAC SNR is 112dB
     DAC THD+N @ - 1dBFS are –93dB
     Full Scale Output of DAC is 2.1Vrms
     Dynamic Range of DAC is 112dB
     Sampling Frequency ranges from 8 kHz to 384 kHz
     Ultra-low-noise voltage regulators & LPF for optimal audio performance
     Automatically switching frequencies according to the input I2S signals
     Dual low jitter NDK crystal oscillators for Master Clock generation.

    Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C


    Board Size: LWH = 67.4mm * 65mm * 22.2mm
    Board Weight: 28g
    BOSS DAC is a fully HAT-size add-on sound card for RPI- 2 & 3 version SBCs.

    The BOSS will work on I2S Master Mode and Slave mode through the onboard Texas
    Instruments PCM5122 DAC IC. Master clock auto switching will take care by PCM5122 DAC and
    generates sample rate based I2S clocks out to RPI.

    By using 45.1584/49.1520 MHz Ultra Low Phase Noise Oscillators, DAC generates bit perfect I2S
    clocks to RPI. This delivers excellent quality audio out through the BOSS RCA connectors.

    The BOSS can be connected to the RPI compatible 40-way header without any additional
    cable or soldering.

    Component selection, Digital-Analog Partition and track layout have been in the forefront
    of our design to ensure noise immunity and best possible audio playback with the BOSS.
    The Analog Power section is designed with film capacitors and super Capacitor to achieve
    pure analog power to DAC.

    Software

    snd-soc-allo-boss-dac.ko is the device driver required for Boss. On RPi, get this driver active by
    adding “dtoverlay=allo-boss-dac-pcm512x-audio” in the /boot/config.txt file.

    For more details on the driver parameters & ALSA settings for Boss, please refer to
    our Technical Details For BOSS DAC document.
