Hi, Yes XLRs fit fine on 1U but not with the Pi Underneath it. You basically have this set up (ripped from IQ Audio's email): 1U ~ 40mm 5mm spacer under pi 2mm pi pcb 12mm spacer (to clear pi components) 2mm DAC Hat Leaves: 19mm to fit XLR connectors. Wayne Merricks The Voice Asia On

Hi, Just to be clear, I'm nothing to do with IQ Audio, I just asked them if they did any XLR boards a few months back. They emailed back the same day saying interesting idea and they'll look into it. Now they're asking more questions and are planning a prototype for the next month or so
