Introduction
MonitorPi Pro is a powerful integrated control center and universal OLED display panel that works for all kinds of Raspberry Pi audio applications. To install a MonitorPi Pro, all you need to do is just simply plug it into the GPIO port. It has never been that easy to add a high-performance display/controller to an RPi audio system until MonitorPi Pro was developed.
Benefiting from the unique built-in high speed signal analyzer, MonitorPi Pro detects the digital audio format and the I2S/DSD signal status in real time and shows the true music information on the OLED screen.
MonitorPi Pro is a big step forward upgrade from the MonitorPi with a lot of new additional features. As an integrated controller, it works like a bridge that can link a lot of different boards together for a well accomplished system. MonitorPi Pro can also support RaspberryPi free applications.
Features and Specifications
- Built-in high speed real-time digital analyzer monitors the true digital music signals up to 128MHz
- Music format display range up to PCM1536KHz and DSD1024
- 1.54” replaceable PMOLED screen
- Integrates a DDC controller that can control ReceiverPiPro II, ReceiverPi DDC and even StationPiPro to build a fully functional DDC streamer or DAC
- Integrates a UcPure MkII SYNC charging controller and will support PurePi II for this function
- Integrates a built-in ESS controller that can auto-detect and control Ian ESS DACs, as well as Audiophonics ESS DAC

Works like a champ. I think it should be included in builds even if not required. It helps with problem solving for sure.
Ingenious tool—voltage check, I2S signal detection, and ultracapacitor pause for pure power mode. A must-have for PurePi and ShieldPi builds. Brilliant work by Ian!
As always, everything from Iancanada is top quality and you will love it.
Excellent Boards!
I have three in use with the three streamers I've set up. My only complaint is they are a bit loose and can be a bit hard to navigate through the menus.
