Choosing the correct Amplifier (HAT) and Speakers for Bar Top Retro Arcade
-
Hi,
I have put together this Gaming Cabinet:
Gaming CabinetWhich will be powered by a Raspberry Pi 5.
The Pi 5 does not have an audio out, so we need to identify the best audio solution and that's where i need some help.I have no idea which HAT / Speaker Combination to buy. What I do know is that I want 2 x speakers that will screw into the speaker bar located in the cabinet, we don't really want a separate powered speaker.
There are so many DAC HATs out the with various speaker outputs and 1000's of speakers.
Any help would be great
Thanks

You can also use an USB sound card, there's no need for a HAT/GPIO solution. Any card that advertises Linux support should work.
For a HAT solution, I think any of the DACs sold by the RPI folks directly might fit the bill - see https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/.
