  2. DAC-RaspberryPi power supply connection terminal

    When supplying DAC power from the GPIO pin of RaspberryPi, short this pins. (Default)

    When connecting separate power supplies from the external power connector to the DAC and RaspberryPi You must leave this terminal open.

  3. LCD power

    This connector can supply 5V power to LCDs for RaspberryPi. This connector is connected to the 5V terminal of RaspberryPi GPIO.

    Notice: The connector is not mounted, so you should solder the connector yourself.

    Notice: Balance terminal is not mounted. If you want to use you need to solder it.
  5. DAC output terminal

    This is for outputting a signal from the DAC output terminal. You can connect your original amplifier instead of the onboard amplifier.

    You can use a line transformer instead of an amplifier.
