PI2AES Status update - 12/01/2021
Apologies for the delayed update. We were pushing our assembly house to get us all remaining units by the end of last week. Unfortunately instead of 120 units we only received 40. And we will not get another 40 until week after next. We should still get everything out before the end of December, even with these lower numbers! The issue is not parts this time, but a labor shortage at the assembly house due to a couple of folks coming down with Covid.

Customers will still receive an email with the tracking number at the time of shipment. Shipping times for domestic orders should still be 2-4 days and international is 5-10 days, but the holidays might add a day or two.

PI2AES will remain in production, but with a price increase. The new price for the PI2AES will be $249. We will begin pre-orders after the current batch of PI2AES units have been shipped. Delivery will be February, but we'll need to get closer to more accurately estimate (which we have not been so good at lately).

PI2AES - Digital Audio Streamer

    PI2AES Questions
FEATURES
  • RASPBERRY PI 4 COMPATIBLE - Tested on the latest Raspberry Pi 4
  • AES TRANSMITTER – The industry standard WM8804 converts the RPi I2S stream to AES3/SPDIF formatted data at 24-Bit up to 192Khz
  • SPDIF COAX OUTPUT – An RCA connector with Isolation Transformer provides coaxial transmission of the SPDIF Audio Data Stream.
  • SPDIF OPTICAL OUTPUT – Isolated Optical Transmitter Supports Consumer Level DAC and AVR inputs
  • AES BNC OUTPUT - A 75 ohm BNC connector with Isolation Transformer provides for Single Ended AES transmission.
  • AES BALANCED OUTPUT – An RS-422 Transmitter coupled with Isolation Transformer allows the transmission of balanced audio data with 110 ohm impedance via the Professional Audio Standard XLR Connector
  • BUFFERED I2S OUTPUT – Parallel Buffered I2S is available for direct short
    distance connection to off-board D/A. Perfect for DIY use! I2C for control is also provided as well as 5V Regulated and Input Voltage Rails
  • DIFFERENTIAL I2S OUTPUT – A DS2063 Differential Transmitter is used to drive the I2S Bus via LVDS over a standard HDMI Connector. Rev. P3.x supports PS Audio, but the  channels are swapped. Rev. P4 (coming Q1 2022) will fix this.
