HiFiBerry DAC2 Pro XLR

This is a special version of the HiFiBerry DAC2 Pro with a pair of XLR jacks! The output is fully balanced, and the board can be equipped with the additional HiFiBerry DSP add-on module.

This is a special sound card for the Raspberry Pi, optimised for one specific use case: affordable high-quality audio playback!

It is strongly recommended to mount this board into a solid metal case, otherwise, mechanical stress while plugging/unplugging XLR connectors might damage the XLR connectors. We offer a matching steel case for use with Pi 5 here.

The DAC2 Pro XLR comes with integrated dual-domain ultra-low-jitter clocks and gold-plated XLR connectors. It can be simply plugged onto your Raspberry Pi, without any soldering.
