Pimoroni’s Pirate Audio headphone amp
By PJ Evans. Posted

We’ve chosen the headphone version here, but line-out, 3W amp and even built-in speaker versions are available. All four Raspberry Pi Zero-sized HATs feature a 1.3-inch IPS screen and four control buttons, making them perfect for on-the-move audio. A comprehensive online guide takes you through installation including a full audio solution based on Mopidy, so you can get running right away.
