SPECIFICATION

General

Comparison of Pi models:

Audio DAC - NanoSound DAC2s

• Texas Instruments PCM5122 - 192kHz Sampling Rate / 24bit Resolution Burr-Brown DAC for best sound quality
• 2 x ultra precise master clock for lower gitter and better DSD performance
• Improved and wider sound signal paths
• Texas Instruments TPS7A4700 Ultra Low Noise Voltage Regulator
• Switchable Power Option with auto-switching
  • Power from a single USB-C port or independently
• Infrared Receiver and Remote Control
• Raspberry Pi Power switch - Turn on and gracefully shut down Raspberry Pi System
• 4 GPIO buttons and 1 Digital Rotary Knob for Media Control
• Hi-Fi Audio Grade electronics components. Capacitors from EVOX RIFA, WIMA and ELNA
• Full open source and available from github allows anyone to take control of the software
• Full Copper RCA Connector for maximum conductance
• *NEW* for NanoSound DAC 2s
  • 2 Oz Copper PCB Manufacturing for better heat discipation and lower resistance
  • Upgraded Nichicon FW Audio Grade Electrolytic Capacitors

Amp - NanoSound Amp10 (Optional)

The mission of Amp10 is simple: build the best sounding music system with a small footprint

• Works with both NanoSound DAC (1st Gen) and NanoSound DAC 2 / 2s (2nd Gen)
• Fits into NanoSound 3D Printed Case
• Onboard Ultra Low Drop Out Linear Regulator - This provides the cleanest power going into the amplifier.
• Powerful 10W x 2 amplifier which is capable of driving large bookshelf speakers (we used 5inch woofer in our demo system with great results)
• 2oz cooper PCB for better thermal performance and signal paths
• Audiophile quality components from world acclaimed Yamaha, Nichicon and WIMA

The kit includes:

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
• 5V 2.5A Power Supply for Raspberry Pi (UK, Europe or United States Plug )
• NanoSound DAC 2 Standard with 1.3" OLED Display or Pro with 1.5" OLED Colour Display
• Infrared Remote Control
• Sandisk Ultra 16/64/200 GB microSDHC with volumio and nanosound plugin preinstalled
  • Why bigger storage is needed? Because you can use it like a NAS

Optionally you can add:

• NanoSound Amp^2 Speaker & Headphone Amplifier
  • Use this to power your speakers and large headphones directly
• NanoSound Amp10 - 10W x 2 Digital Amp
  • Our top of the range amplifier board
• NanoSound CD Full version
  • Upsampling CD Playback / Extraction plug-in
• External USB CD/DVD drive. We recommend these:
  • Pioneer External DVD writer (DVR-XU01C)
  • Sony External DVD writer (DRX-S90U)
• NanoSound 3 Speaker - Full Range Speaker with Dual driver and 3 inch Woofer. Perfect companion for Amp^2
• NanoSound 3D Printed Case. Both versions will fit amp^2 and Amp10. The tall version will also fit heat sink for Pi.
