Hi y'all,

for years I've been a happy user of the original hifiberry DAC on the original Raspberry Pi. 

Now I want something better, maybe hardware volume control or the fabled better sound possible. 

Can I connect newer hifiberry boards to my old and trusted workhorse of the mobel B (no +) without the 40pin GPIO header?

Cheers

  Unfortunately, they are not designed to work with this Pi.

  While some users tried it with cables, we wouldn't recommend this and there won't be any support from us for this. I recommend to see if you can find a use Pi B+ or Pi2 on eBay or similar sites. These should be relatively cheap.
