Raspberry Pi to iPod HiFi 30-pin-dock Adapter for Airplay Audio Streaming

Give your Apple iPod Hi-Fi® speaker system new life with the Airplay Audio Streaming Adapter. No wires needed, the adapter plugs right into the dock connector. The adapter powers a Raspberry Pi Zero W or Zero 2 W that digitally sends the audio signal to a high fidelity audio DAC, that then feeds the signal into the dock connector. 

Raspberry Pi Zero W and SD card NOT included.

Features

• Stream Airplay to your Apple iPod Hi-Fi boom box (or other iPod dock, see below)

• Compatible with streaming to multiple Airplay devices synchronously when streaming from a Mac (Airplay 1) or when streaming from any device (Airplay 2).

• Software for Raspberry Pi now supports both Airplay 1 and Airplay 2. 

• Can also be used to connect general Raspberry Pi Audio to the 30pin connector beyond Airplay sources.

• Supports up to 192kHz/24bit playback
