Please your warm welcome to the two new boards: Louder-ESP32-Plus and Amped-ESP32-Plus. What's new?
Louder ESP32 Plus 1

Louder Plus model is the first one out with TAS5825M DAC - more efficient and more powerful compared to smaller brother TAS5805M. Some say it also sounds better ;) (I'm not making that up). IT has more powerful DSP, but so far it has the same level of software support as '05'. 

Amped ESP32 Plus 1

Amped Plus is based on PCM5122 and TPA3128, so compared to base model you get hardware volume, gain control, and few more DSP features.

At this point, I have only 10 boards each (test batch), more are coming from the factory within the next few months. Software support is coming, I'll work next couple of weeks to update installers for squeezelite and snapclient and provide esphome configs as usual.
