The confusion due to the fact that they would be called DAC plus Amp or integrated amp in the traditional audio world.
The JustBoom designation of the audio amp as "Amp", and DAC plus Amp as "Amp HAT", seems consistent with this. At least HAT hints that it gets GPIO input, and must have a DAC.
HiFiBerry's Amp meaning DAC plus Amp and AAmp as an analog amp seems to be inconsistent with traditional audio.
"The HiFiBerry Amp is a high-quality, highly efficient Class-D power amplifier for the Raspberry Pi." It's actually more than just a power amp.
"The Amp100 is a combination of the DAC2Pro circuit with a powerful 100W per channel stereo amplifier." Much better description.
