Bluetooth headphone DAC

An ESP32 and ES8388 audio-board experiment for using wired headphones wirelessly.

01

The problem

Many devices no longer have a headphone jack, while good wired headphones still work.

02

What I built

I explored a compact wireless audio board around an ESP32 and ES8388 codec.

03

What I learned

Audio hardware needs measured performance, not just a signal at the output.

04

What’s next

Verify the final board revision and publish measurements before calling it complete.
