TPA3123D2EVM: Are shielded inductors required?

Part Number: TPA3123D2EVM

Hi Audio Team,

The TPA3123D2EVM using shield inductors for L1 and L2 (A7503AY-220M). These have become EOL and my customer is looking into options for replacement.

Do these 22uH inductors need to be shielded? If so, what is the benefit in this applications? Does the shielding help to remove audible humming?

Thank you!
Reed
