Production Update - 03/20/2021
The Assembly house now has the parts and has begun the build process. It's a little bit later than originally planned so now we are looking at end of April, but hopefully sooner. No one is willing to give you aggressive delivery times these days. At least we got most of our parts even with the global chip shortages. Ordering is now enabled, but with a 4-6 week  delivery time. Please plan accordingly.

Quick update 03/31/2021 - I have received a delivery date of April 26 from the assembly house. Back orders will start shipping within one week after we received the boards.
​
The RJ45 adapter has been cancelled due to production issues. Any current orders will be cancelled and refunded.

The PS Audio I2S over HDMI adapter has also been cancelled due to production issues.

International Shipping Update - 02/17/2021
As of 02/17/20201 for any new orders, First Class Domestic (US) and First Class International will no longer be available. This is due to an unusual number of packages either going missing or being delayed beyond 4 weeks or even longer. We understand this is a price increase for many. Be assured we do not add anything to the shipping prices. They are direct from USPS.

Many thanks from the Pi 2 Design team, and stay safe!

PI2AES - Now with Black Opaque Case Option

    PI2AES Questions
FEATURES
  • RASPBERRY PI 4 COMPATIBLE - Tested on the latest Raspberry Pi 4 using Moode 6.10
  • 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. 
IMPORTANT NOTE - All units require a minimum of 24V DC Input, up to the maximum of 48V. Some units may be marked +12V to +48V. Please contact us with any questions regarding this change.
