thanks for the additional details

to enable the HAT for use (by Plexamp or any other app) …

`sudo nano /boot/config.txt`  
at the very end of the file, add a line `dtoverlay=i-sabre-q2m`  
control-X to save/exit the file  
`sudo reboot` to restart the pi

after restart, `aplay -l` … your HAT should now show in the list of available audio devices (and you can select it for audio output in Plexamp settings)
