Note:
- Raspberry Pi and spike feet are not included. High quality spike feet are available here
- The two 18650 LifePO4 battery cells are not included for safety reason.
- 18650 LifePO4 battery cells are available for Canada and USA customers using surface shipping. You can buy two of separately.
- Customers from the rest of international areas need to source the 3.2V 18650 LifePO4 battery cells by themselves. Other kinds of Lithium batteries can not be used. You can try Aliexpress or other stores.
- Please use suitable standoffs and be very careful not to short circuit between PCBs.
- Additional TransportPi AES or HdmiPi Pro II can be also added to have a full output range.
- A #50B GPIO spacer and a #12A 13mm standoff KIT will required if you want to install a RPi to a Pi free project.
- You have to use #12D 6mm shorter standoffs on PurePi is you install a RaspberryPi 5 to it. The supplied standoffs are 7mm and fit RPis other than a Pi5.
- Please select Generic I2S as output device in software as long as you have a FifoPiQ7 in the system.

Possible upgrades
- #80A/#80B or #80C/#80D SC-Pure clocks
- #26B UcConditionerMkII 3.3V
- #32B LinearPi Solo as the USB-C power supply
- #51A. Acrylic protection cover
Capable of challenging high-end commercial streamers sound quality when upgraded with high-grade clocks and better power supplies.
In case you need a USB digital interface: Amanero Combo768 is highly recommended
Recommended MonitorPiPro settings
ESS Ctrl: Disable
DDC Ctrl: DDC Enable

I had bought project #93C together with the "#17B. HdmiPi Pro II Flagship HDMI transport interface", but for a start I had problems with the streamer where there only came digital noise from the speakers, but it turned out to be because I used a Raspberry Pi 3B+ which apparently had to little computing power for running ropieee in this setup. When I switched to a Raspberry Pi 5 everything worked perfectedly with ropieee, for example over I2S til min Laiv uDAC.
I am very satisfied with the product and the very good service and support that I've received from Ian Canada.
Outstanding quality and the sound is extremly relaxed and analogue. I think i am going to upgrade the power supply to the ultra capacitor version.
I'm really happy with this DDC kit. The base clock are very good. The sound it deliver change completely how my system sound. I really recommand. Thanks to Ian for making great stuff and keep it available.
highly recommended, A/B test with my CA edge NQ, Roon environment, it give me a higher level listening experience, now i only use this kit set for listening
I've been on the upsampling / audio streamer / DDC bandwagon for awhile now. Ironically I started the journey using an old raspberry pi with a SPDIF hat from Allo years ago. Based on recommendations from others on AudiophileStyle.com, I purchased the #93B kit, with the UC Conditioner and the Receiver Pi with the Amanero 768. I then purchased the SC-Cut clocks. Key takeaways so far:
1 Best audio performance I've thus far experienced in my house.
2. DSD 128 and PCM @ 8Fs sound coming from the Raspi LAN input direct to the FiFO Pi curb stomps DSD 256 and PCM @ Fs coming from the ReceiverPi / Amanero 768. USB is inherently noisy and avoiding it, even at lower (up)sampling rates relative to what USB is capable of, adds a ton of goodness.
3. Ian needs to figure out how to make USB sound as good as LAN to I2S so we can all enjoy the fruits of upsampling from HQPlayer and PGGB. I'm almost tempted to rent the most expensive USB cable I can to see if that can bridge the gap in quality I am getting from LAN to I2S with the SC Cut clocks. Transparency and holography are off the Richter scale high at even lower rates like DSD 128 and PCM 8Fs.
Extremely impressive products.
