Abstract

Droop caused by a filter may be compensated by applying a pre-filter to the audio signal that cancels out, at least in part, the droop caused by the filter. The pre-filter may implement magnitude compensation that causes an approximately flat passband response when the pre-filtered signal is passed through the filter. The pre-filter may be applied to one-bit wide data streams, such as high-fidelity direct stream digital (DSD) audio data or other one-bit wide data such as pulse-density modulation (PDM) encoded data. The pre-filtering and filtering may be implemented in components of an audio processor, such as in a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The pre-filtering may include upsampling the one-bit wide data to form symbols and substituting an eighth bit of the symbol with an inverted version of an earlier-received bit.
