1 Introduction

Audio content has evolved over the years. It’s gone from the days of buying 12-inch LP vinyl at the local record store to being able to stream almost any content from the cloud instantaneously. Although some audiophiles are bringing back the days of vinyl as a novelty, the vast majority of audio today is consumed digitally. Even though the way consumers receive audio has changed, one thing has remained constant: a desire to enjoy the content as it was originally recorded. A key component of making this a reality is the audio amplifier in the sound system. With one piece of silicon having such a large impact on the audio quality, it’s important to understand the tradeoffs and how to choose the right one for a design.
