Abstract
In a waveform data reproducing apparatus for a digital audio system, deterioration of sound quality is prevented by a digital audio waveform data reproducing apparatus which includes a digital preemphasis circuit 12 for digitally preemphasis-processing digital audio waveform data a1 to produce digitally preemphasized data c1, a D/A converter 14 for D/A-converting either the waveform data a1, or the digitally preemphasized data c1, a switch circuit 13 for causing the waveform data a1 to be connected to the D/A converter 14 when the waveform data a1 has been emphasis-processed, and for causing the digitally preemphasized waveform data c1 to be connected to the D/A converter 14 when the waveform data a1 is not emphasis-processed, and an analog deemphasis circuit 14 for analogically deemphasis-processing the output signal from the D/A converter 14.
