DarkOne, if audio band captured correctly, S/N is too bad -60-70db(A) like 10-12bit. Probably the problem is low-resolution ADC you used.
Its only poor old USB scope, I have no audio measurement rig.
I do not think this is very useful, because FFT-level depends on the bandwidth of FFT bins. A useful number was an A-weighted level measurement which can be obtained with a soundcard and a software like ARTA.Not sure if its useful, here is FFT with inputs shorted to ground.
The plot attached shows TPA325x output noise on the left channel, on the right channel the noise of the soundcard as a reference.

I dig out my old sound card ESI Juli@ from a bin and as soon as I find TRS cables that are long enough I will hopefully measure something
Hi,
Sourcing of inductors: is there a reasonable source for Codaca CSCF2014-6R8M ? They don't appear in classic components sellers, nor in Aliexpress :-(
I saw that in 2017 the minimum batches were 200 pieces directly from the manufacturer.
Has a better option been identified yet ?
I understand that the alternative is to buy Wurth inductors directly from them.
Best regards,
JMF

TPA3255 board is back in stock at 3e Audio ebay.

I bought one, only 3 left now! They have a mono one as well.

Bourns PQ2614BHA-6R8K:

Be aware, these are a bit bigger in dimension, comparable to Coilcraft SER2915/18 series.
...it seems unfortunatly not reallistic to source those nice Codaca indusctors here.
Right, you'll need a minimum order qty of about 200pcs per value but depends on modell. They do offer sample shipping. I once had CSCF2014-6R8M sampled at $1.60 each + $32 shipping and handling.
Is Miden a manufacturer or reseller? As they list Coilcraft and Sagami but state "Brand: Miden" it is not clear if they sell knock-offs, genuine brand or own "rebrands".

Calculations are made in "Ferrite Magnetics Desing Tool"
Proper Y-Axis scaling would be nice because linearity is just a matter of scaling.
