Hello.
Just to make sure before I connect a power supply directly to my Dac+.
Is this the right combo to use?
I want to power the Pi through the Dac+ as well.
Just connect it to the 5v pins?
No need for a soldering iron right?
Greetings,
Tony.

HiFiBerry team You can just power the whole system via the Micro-USB port of your Pi. No need to connect it to the DAC.

Tony I did have it connected that way (usb).
I want to try this other way of powering the Dac.
See if it makes a difference for me.I've been reading about powering the dac directly.
Do you think it will be the same? -
HiFiBerry team I don't see why it should make a difference, but I'm aware that there are people on the Internet with a different opinion.

Tony Okay. But you can't confirm my first post because it's not the recommended way of powering the Dac according to your company?

HiFiBerry team YOu can connect 5V to the 5V pins on the board. Note that connecting the board with the wrong polarity will damage the board and the Pi.

Tony Allright. I will connect the 5v directly to the dac. Polarity is straightforward. Thank you!
