IQaudio Pi Modules Relaunched Under Raspberry Pi Umbrella
The Raspberry Pi team has announced the relaunch of four IQaudio modules for distribution under the official Raspberry Pi network, according to a recent blog post.
The modules selected are the most popular devices from third-party manufacturer IQaudio. The new relaunch coincides with a price drop on the modules, just in time for the holidays. That said, there’s still plenty of Raspberries Pi holiday gifts you can pick up before 2020 is over.
Here’s a quick look at the product line and what each module has to offer.

This is the most affordable HAT in the relaunch, providing 24‑bit 192kHz high-resolution digital audio output support.

This HAT is built using a Texas Instruments TAS5756M digital-input amplifier. This module can output to two 35W speakers.

The IQaudio Codec Zero was designed to suit the Pi Zero form factor. It adds support for both output and input devices. It even has a built-in MEMS microphone.
All of the modules are ready to ship, except for the IQaudio Codec Zero HAT which is intended to ship early next year. For more details, check out the full post on the official Raspberry Pi blog.
