Hello everyone,in this video:

I got the BerryBak BLV-D1 amplifier for review,it is extremely compact,fits in the palm of your hand and weighs only 170 grams,the amplifier is built on the Tpa3116 microcircuit.

The amplifier has a linear input and linear output,a DSP processor and built-in Bluetooth,it is preferable to use it through the Bluetooth.I will say about two interesting features of this amplifier.

First of all the amplifier can be powered from a phone charger, here:
it works from a 45-watt Samsung charger, the wire and charger are designed for high current consumption, so they easily power and run amplifier.

The second is that there is a integrated DSP and 10 parameters of the built-in equalizer, two of which can be bound to the controls on the front panel,via the acpworkbench program.
By default, the bass control is set to peq 120Hz (0.707Q), and treeble to peq 5000 Hz (0.707Q),with acpworkbench program, you can reassign them to any other frequency and to any of the seven available filters (peq, low shelf, high shelf, low pass, high pass,bandpass notch).

For example,you can assign a low shelf filter to the bass control 200 Hz,and a high shelf filter to the treeble 10000 Hz and add or subtract bass or brilliance according to your mood,using the controls on the front panel (gain adjustment with regulators starts from -7 to +8).
The remaining 8 peq parameters can be used for the desired target frequency response,for example,the Harmon curve or something like the Fletcher Munson frequency response.

Peq range 24-20000Hz,maximum gain 36db,maximum q value 30.
For its price,this is an extremely functional budget option,with Bluetooth on board,built-in parametric equalizer and the ability to be powered from a USB type C charger.
