Summary: This DAC is based on latest 32bit/384K PCM5102 DAC chip and DIR9001 from Texas Instruments. Sound quality produced by PCM5102 DAC is surprisingly good, very smooth and airy, with great dynamics and excellent soundstage. It features both S/PDIF and optical inputs connected to DIR9001 low jitter digital receiver. PCM5102 uses a next generation architecture based on the PCM1792/4 TI’s flagship DACs. It has 112dB SNR, with an integrated negative rail charge pump and line driver, so you don’t need no opamps at the end or dual split supplies. Just a simple RC low pass filter is all that is needed. In addition, there’s a fancy PLL involved that will autodetect I2S rate, configure the device, and generate it’s own internal master clock so no need for external clock. Entire DAC is powered by only 3.3V from 1117-33 regulator and consumes only 20mA of power. Although PCM5102 DAC can be powered by 4-12V DC voltage, it’s recommended to power it from a single 3.7V LIPO battery to achieve the best performance.

Before connecting the DAC board to the CmodS7 board, I would like to make sure I have a functional DAC board. This is going to be a short blog about how I tested the board. PCM5102 BoardFor sound generation I am going to use a PCM5102 Board which seems pretty popular with the Raspberry Pi and Arduino communities. I found the datasheet online: my DAC board layout with the application circuits on page 26, it looks like my board is pretty similar to figure 38, with the SCK pin of the IC connected to the audio source. Probably that pin can be shorted to ground using a solder blob on one of the few pads on the board.   

Testing the boardTo test the board I used an old Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch OS. I found some pretty good instructions on this blog:  connected the board according to the instructions, except for the VIN pin of the DAC module, which I connected to 3V3 instead of 5V. I read that PCM5102 is 5V tolerant but I will be using 3V3 from CmodS7 in my future tests anyway, so I powered the board to 3V3, just the way it is supposed to be used. The next picture shows my DAC board connected to the Raspberry Pi. The audio output of the DAC board is connected to an inexpensive amplifier. And here is a close-up of the board:The next picture shows the audio interfaces being detected on the Raspberry Pi:Card 0 corresponds to the audio output of the Raspberry Pi. Card 1 is my DAC (pcm5102a-hifi-0).
I was able to play with aplay command a few sample files. I did not use a HiFi system to do the testing. On my inexpensive portable amp, the sound quality is acceptable (no audible distortions, etc…). The next picture shows the output of the bash shell on the Pi while playing one of these files.Now I know I have a functional DAC card and I can move forward.
