Commercially available pHAT DAC costs about $12 and adds just a headphone jack to your Pi Zero. On the other hand, the $14 Adafruit Speaker bonnet provides, two 3W audio channels for the loss of the headphone jack. The DIY HAT shown below strikes a balance between both the commercial HATS, by providing both the headphone output, as well as speaker outputs. Whats more interesting is the cost of implementation of the DAC, which is about $6 or $7.
So, at quarter of the cost of two DAC's you are getting the functionality of both.
Hey, that's pretty cool, thank you for sharing this :) I didn't know of the PCM5102A module, nice find, just ordered one on eBat for not more than 3 Euros!
