INTRODUCTION
 While CDs provide an adequate sound quality for most music
lovers, there are still many who are looking for a higher level of
sound quality—the depth of emotions that live performances
produce. To reproduce all the sounds of nature faithfully, it is
necessary to record and transmit a complete range of analogue
signals without deterioration. Neither analogue records nor CDs
could attain this goal.
 All the above shortcomings are achieved by 1-bit amplification.

MERITS OF 1-BIT AMPLIFIER

• 1-bit technology—simply superior then

multibit amplification.
• Achieving true sound with time resolution.
• Producing sound with depth.
• Small in size.

HOW IT IS SUPERIOR?

• The low heat generating carbonyl iron-powder core.

• Digital signal can be converted into analogue signals

through a minimum process of a simple low-pass filter
• 1-bit signals with a simple conversion method modulate
analogue signals onto the high-frequency (64fs) digital
signals

CONCLUSION

• 1-bit converter is usually easier and cheaper

to implement.
• It also has higher tolerance for small
variances in component values.
