A direct power output digital to analog conversion of digital audio signals operates to directly convert digital audio signals into an analog power audio output signal capable of driving a speaker, such that there is no need for further amplification or modification of the audio output signal after the direct power output digital to analog conversion of the digital audio signals. The direct power output digital to analog conversion incorporates a digital-to-analog converter within the same feedback circuit as a current-to-voltage power amplifier by using a single resistive feedback network to supply the feedback signal from the output terminal of the current-to-voltage power amplifier to the summing junction of the same current-to-voltage power amplifier.

Direct power output digital to analog conversion of digital audio signals

A method and system is provided for a digital audio system to reconstruct a digital audio signal using time domain interpolation and direct power digital-to-analog conversion. A signal processor performs the time domain interpolation on an original digital audio signal to allow for the proper recreation of the original audio signal and a direct power output digital-to-analog converter generates an analog power audio output signal from the interpolated digital audio signal that can directly drive a speaker to produce the sound waves represented by the audio output signal. The signal processor and direct power output digital-to-analog converter allow a digital audio system to more precisely reconstruct an analog power output audio signal from a digital audio signal such that there is no need for further amplification of the audio output signal and such that there will be no perceptible difference between the reconstructed digital signal and the original analog signal.
