Which should be selected or entered into config.txt?** A: Just made this card work with RP 4 Model B with Volumio. When running the Config Wizard, I had to answer the question “I have an I2S DAC” with an answer “No”, then under “Select your audio output”, you have only three choices: HDMI Out, Headphones, and Allos Boss. Select Allos Boss. It works great! However, when I kept answering yes to the question “I have an I2S DAC”, then I was still able to select “Allos Boss” within a long list of different DAC cards, like HiFi Berry, etc. But this card didn’t work with this way of selection. **Q: Can you leave a 3.5 mm jack extension connected and still be able get output through the rca? can you select the output through the interface?** A: I do not try to connect both cable, but on the operating system (raspi) it gives option to choose audio output between 3,5, RCA and HDMI with left click on sound symbol. My Raspi see 3,5 and HDMI, but I have to add some lines to config file for Inno HiFi card to make it see. **Q: Will this work with Le Potaoe?** A: I couldn't get my raspberry pi streamer to work at all. After dozens of attempts I finally gave up and bought a Yamaha lol see R N393 network receiver and am happy with all it's features. **Q: Can you share a link to that plastic case in the picture you attached during your review? I like the looks of it.** A: You can buy from our Amazon shop.It's in stock. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Sound *by S***N on April 13, 2026* This was a little tricky to get going on the Raspberry Pi 5, but once I did, it sounds fantastic.

Have tried HiFiBerry. Was blown away by the sound and how easy it was to operate with Volumio operating system. I haven't listened to it in a while and decided to give it a try again. Something happened to the HiFiBerry...it was in-op. I wanted to get back to streaming my CD rips again. I saw this HAT and the DAC chip is quality and the coupling caps are rather good. I though I would try again with this unit. Now I'm using a Pi4b instead of the 3b. I powered the Pi and the HAT through a linear power supply hooked up to GPIO pins 4 and 6. OMG!!!!!! My audiophile heart is all a flutter! Everything I remember and more is there. I have access to my 5K+ CDs and the touch of my smart phone screen with Volumio. I have not even tried the internet radio or Tidal or other streaming services. I am very impressed with the unit and the price! Note-- There is a bit of a learning curve and the Pi does take a while to boot up at first. I just leave mine on. This is unfortunate but I have a bit of time to not have to pay $$$$$ for a streaming playback unit. Very happy.
