ADAU1701, ADAU1452, PCM5242 for Raspberry Pi. A triple gift for the DIYAudio community.

Hello everyone,
We are a small engineering company «ChipDip.» has released three complete uHAT projects for the Raspberry Pi.
These are expansion boards for high quality sound.
The driver and overlay for Raspberry Pi OS is called ChipDip DAC
To build a streamer, you can use any Raspberry Pi. The microcomputer is installed on a 40-pin audio card connector. As software, use any player or OS image that is recorded on a microSD card for Raspberry Pi. Operating systems automatically detect the ChipDip DAC audio card and configure sound output to it. In some players, you may need to select ChipDip DAC as the audio output device.
All files just posted on PCBWAY.

We really want you to make any of the projects and share your comments.
I will answer any questions and support you in assembly and programming.

The first project is DSP Machines 1.
DAC, audio processor, amplifier for all Raspberry Pi. ADAU1701 + TPA3255.
PCBway.

Updated of DSP Machine 3
Changes:
1. At the AD1934 output, two OPA1656 are installed instead of two OPA1632.
2. On the control panel, all LEDs are addressable - Neopixel type
3. All Raspberry Pi GPIO on the motherboard with a pitch of 2.54 mm
4. Improved motherboard design

A fan is attached underneath the Raspberry Pi.

The control panel is attached to the motherboard.
7_1200.jpg
On the control panel
Three sensors: SuperBass, Magic, Mute
Potentiometers: Low frequency tone, High frequency tone, Balance, Volume
Four LEDs: SuperBass, On, Magic, Mute
8_1200.jpg

The sensor contacts are connected to the pads on the outer panel via mounting screws.

The outer panel is made of 3mm textolite. On the inside there is a 2mm deep milling for LEDs.

The project is not complicated, but pay attention! Automatic EQ is installed for possible room correction.

The ChipStudio project is a repeat of the SigmaStudio project.

All files are open source, do what you want!

In Raspberry Pi OS and other players like Volumio, select ChipDip DAC audio output.
