Raspberry Pi acquires IQaudIO brand and products

[Paul Webster]

First audio board that I bought for Raspberry Pi was from IQaudIO.
Was in the days when a bit of soldering was needed ... and was first time that I had soldered anything in years. It is still running LMS in a remote location.

I can imagine that HiFiBerry etc will be concerned that new buyers will find RPT products first and prices will be driven down.

Time to invest in SqueezeAMP

I wondered why IQaudIO's website had been shuttered for so long

I'm a big fan.

I have two DAC+'s and a Codec + in service as well as a complete cased pi3B/DAC+ Spare.

I also have an Amp +, a Digi + and a DAC + which are no longer required - as well as a load of case parts which they kindly sent me about a year ago when I couldn't get a case for their Codec +

None of the seven cards have ever given me a moments problem and the DAC +'s replay DSD 384Kbit/s files without issue.

In my opinion they'll certainly give HiFi Berry a run for their money.

I noticed they renamed them from IQaudIO to IQaudio.

I wonder why no "Digi" S/PDIF board.

Shown here, with prices, available from Pimoroni:

Isn’t the “Pi-Digi+” an S/PDIF BOARD?

It is but it is not one of the boards that RPT said they would be offering.
That Pi-Digi+ is presumably legacy stock at Pimoroni and at the legacy price range as well.

The PiDac was my first HAT too. Soldered to the B+ board and it sounded great.
As the Classic Squeezebox never gave up, and has the best screen ever, the PiDac wasn’t often in use.
