TDA7379 Home Amplifier with MP3

I’m putting together a small home-audio rig and need a compact two-channel amplifier that squeezes the full 38 W per channel from the TDA7379. The core requirements are straightforward:

• Audio section: clean 2 × 38 W into 4 Ω, low THD, proper heat sinking and speaker-protections already worked into the schematic.
• Source section: an integrated MP3 player so I can drop in a USB stick or micro-SD card and play straight away—no external decoder boards.
• Control: all main functions (power, volume, track skip, mute, EQ presets if available) operated through an IR remote control. Physical buttons on the front panel are optional; I’m happy to rely on the remote once everything’s tucked into the cabinet.

I’ll be running it from a single 12 – 18 V DC brick, so onboard regulation and filtering are crucial. A compact, low-noise PCB layout coupled with a concise BOM keeps the build tidy; through-hole or SMT parts are fine as long as sourcing remains painless.

Deliverables I’d like from you:
1. Complete schematic in PDF or KiCad/Eagle.
2. PCB Gerber files ready for fabrication, plus the layout file.
3. Annotated BOM with part numbers that Mouser or LCSC actually stock.
4. IR command table and, if you’re using a common off-the-shelf handset, a note on the exact model.
5. Brief test report (photos or a short clip) showing both channels driven and the MP3 player under remote control.

Bluetooth or an LED VU meter might be nice extras for the future, but they aren’t part of this round; focus on getting the core amp, MP3 module, and remote working flawlessly.

If anything in the spec needs clarification, let me know so we can lock it down before you dive into the layout.
