Hey folks. A couple of new boards just got released.

 
First, HiFi-ESP32-Plus is now available in both ESP32 and ESP32-S3 variants. I'm working on the proper support of this DAC, starting with snapclient and squeezelite-esp32, and then the esphome component is coming up. What is exciting about this DAC is built-in 6-band equalizer and crossover, so I'm planning to create a 2.1 system based on that.

Second, Amped-ESP32 is now available in both ESP32 and ESP32-S3 variants, and all will be using the newer TPA3128 amp going forward. What it means is better efficiency, more power, better audio quality, and proper MUTE function.

As soon as PCM5122 support is ready, I'll release Amped-ESP32-Plus, driven by PCM5122+TPA3128, the pinnacle of the DACs I've used, I think
