Abstract

An audio player device includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a startup circuit, a multiplexer and an output amplifier. The DAC converts audio data into a first signal and a second signal. The startup circuit gradually increases a level of a startup voltage according to a reference voltage during a predetermined period. The multiplexer outputs the startup voltage as a control voltage during the predetermined period, and switches to output the reference voltage as the control voltage after the predetermined period has elapsed. The output amplifier generates an audio signal according to the control voltage, the first signal and the second signal. The control voltage is used to set a common mode voltage of the output amplifier.
