Introducing a new board in the ESP32 Audio family - Amped-ESP32. Short version: it is a powerhouse similar to Louder-ESP32 (they sound so similar that I started to suspect they have the same output drivers), but simpler to use and a bit more versatile. 

Slightly different angle: It is the next step for the HiFi-ESP32 board, which has the same DAC and 3.5mm output. It adds a powerful TAS3110 D-class amp and can drive large speakers no sweat. You can plug headphones into the 3.5mm as well, the amp will get muted in the case.

Slightly longer story, compared to the TAS5805M of the Louder-ESP32, it lacks DSP capabilities, since it relies on the external DAC to produce an analog signal (PCM5100 in this case). EQ or Loudness processing will have to be done on the MCU instead; that's the price of simplicity. 

(Spoiler alert) Next stop is the 2.1 version of the Amped board, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to implement the LF stage (I'm no good at analog, I'm afraid).
