Read More…This is Loud Orange Pi Hat, that adds dual stereo audio capability to your Pi. It uses native I2S output of Orange Pi together with ubiquitous MAXIM Integrated MAX98357 DAC with class D amp.
Initially I created a line-level Hi-Fi version of the board. I use it myself with the off-the-shelf amp to sort of modernize pre-internet era audio gear with Spotify and the rest of the family.
It works great, but it lacks proper integration between music source and the amp. I even connected the amp via relay, but you cannot control input switch remotely etc.
At some point I came to idea of standalone device that would have amp on-board. In that setup amp would probably not be that sophisticated, but at least I can have as much control over it, as I need.
It is a simple yet powerful solution that adds audio capabilities to your Orange Pi based project. All you need to complete setup is a pair of speakerss. Although not too powerful, it produces decent audio quality, which means it is suitable for high quality audio streaming.
It's capable and reasonably priced, and great value for money. But most notably, Raspberry's availability is still poor at the moment of writing. Orange Pi is not a perfect alternative, not nearly as good support level as Big Pi. But in terms of audio quality it is no compromise, and that what matters most
Orange Pi runs Armbian, Volumio and Mopidy, but before any of them can utilize MAX98357 DAC, it needs to be configured.
Setting up an external DAC is not a trivial task, therefore Ansible playbooks were provided to set-up your Pi in the matter of 2 clicks.
Optional playbooks will install Mopidy and Spotify smart speaker suite onto your Pi.

Most of the packages are sent the next business day in the morning CET time. Delivery time varies wildly, but typically it is 1-2 weeks within EU and 3-4 weeks outside EU due to delays in customs. If the package does not show up after 8 weeks, please reach out for a replacement or refund.
Currently, Poczta Polska does not ship to Israel, and a few more countries due to a lack of airline operations. As soon as they will lift the restrictions, I'll restore shipments.
