Hello everyone! Today I want to inroduce the BerryBak BLV-D3 2.1 amplifier.

This amplifier is based on two TPA3116 Class D chips,which allows for a dedicated passive subwoofer connection.

It features an integrated and pre-adjusted ADAU1701 DSP.

While the DSP shouldn't be modified,the board does include an ICP input.

Performance & Real-World Usage.

In daily use,I powered it with a USB-C PD charger and noticed no issues at moderate volume levels.
However, since I was asked to provide music for a New Year's Eve party,I switched to a high-quality Tridonic PSU for more headroom.


The music remained loud and clear even at high volumes.The amplifier easily powered a pair of Philips MCM8 speakers and a passive Focal subwoofer.
