Now that the poles and zeros have been realized, the closed−loop gain can
be set. First, calculate the open−loop gain by multiplying the gain (adding in
dB) of each block, if there was no feedback. The integrator block adds gain of
the feedback impedance/input resistor at the given frequency. The feedback
impedance is the impedance of C24 + R25 (C21 is overlooked because it has
a large enough impedance to be considered open).

The TPA2001D1 has a gain set to 18 dB. The TAS5111 converts the 3-V PWM
to the A+ rail (18 V to 29.5 V). The open−loop gain from the TAS5111 can range
from 18 V/3 V = 6 V/V to 29.5 V/3 V = 9.8 V/V (17 dB to 29 dB). Adding the
gains of each stage in dB:
Open−loop gain = Integrator gain + 18 dB + 17 dB to 20 dB.
