Power supply:

This module does have separate 5V and 12V outputs. They are both rated at 1A. This is OK for our use case, because we will disable 2 cores and the GPU of the Orange PI board. So in my case I am alway way below 1A (about 500mA). The 2nd Voltage (12V)is used for the power amplifier board. Having an independent power source is very good because you will not get many digital noise at the output of the amplifier. So that module is much better than a 12V power supply and a step down voltage regulator. 12V 1A is also good enough for a normal room size since the digital amplifier is very power efficient
