#Cheap stereo line out I2S DAC for Circui...

Got a 3-pack, and got one to work with the RPi Pico. Any idea who actually makes those modules? Would be nice to have something similar with castellated holes that I could solder on to a board as a component.
They are made by everyone and no one. It's yet another example output from the many many anonymous board makers selling from Alibaba
I have not been able to track down the author of the original PCB
Ha, well that is interesting. So I guess if I were to design a board around that schematic it's basically public domain for all intents and purposes?
Thx for your input, btw.
It seems like who ever did design it did at least attempt to separate digital from analog, having instead of just one 3.3V regulator, having a vreg for the analog section and one for the digital section of the PCM5100 chip
Just to say thanks again @vivid iron for the recommendation on your blog. I ended up going to aliexpress (amazon link is US shipping costs) after deciding to get a few to the UK, you may find it a cheaper source if you want a few in the future https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002898278583.html
And for the MAX98357 (3w speaker amp not just lineout like PCM5102) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005383121121.html
Working on an article involving this chip/board. OK if I quote and/or reference you? @vivid iron
I'd be honored, thanks!
In a previous article, I went over how you to use a MAX98357 amplifier breakout to power a speaker via digital I2S (Inter-IC Sound) signals. While this opens up audio output possibilities, it’s not meant to work with an external amplifier. For that you’ll need a simple DAC, or digital-to-analog converter.
@dusk oxide I was very confused earlier today when I got a bunch of blog pingbacks that was clearly your post but from "Jeremy S Prepare dinner" 😬
Lol, what's the link to that? That is kind of hilarious. I mean I guess I should be mad 😄
Oh, Prepare dinner. Wow, I didn't get that was an interpretation of my name.
How weird
