IQaudio - now official Raspberry products. - the_bertrum - 01-25-2021
While loading some old bookmarks, I noticed that iqaudio.co.uk now redirects to https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/iqaudio-is-now-raspberry-pi/
Looks as if they are now official products!

Ok, I have to confess up front that I'm a life-long cynic. This smacks of "we've got a lot of cash here, what shall we do with it." I'm old enough to have seen this play out over and over in many technical areas.
When I saw this announcement on the Raspberry Pi website, my heart sank. There's a lovely innovative and reasonably competitive marketplace for audiophile gear compatible with RPi now facing disruption as IQaudio products begin flowing through the RPi distribution system.
Hope I'm wrong but only time will prove me so.

Kent

Interesting. I hope G landed in a good spot because he was one of audio vendor guys that was super great to work with :-)

You're barely a youngster in wide eyed awe and wonder of life ! I am constantly amazed at your world view...so positive and inclusive...helping others and 'hip to the groove' ! My wish is to be as worldly and connected as you ...
Best !!!

I hope G came out good on the deal. I went to search a new hat DAC for a piZero and saw the IQAudio pi DACZero online. Alas it’s no longer made and I really hate spending $50 for the Allo Mini Boss. I enjoy my IQ Audio DAC+ so was hoping to find something in a small form factor to fit the Zero for a small workplace tube headphone player.
