A phono-preamplifier for processing audio output signals from a turntable is powered by a variable voltage adapter such as a USB-C PD power supply adapter.
A networked speaker device includes a sealed housing and an Ethernet port in the housing for receiving power and audio data from a network router via an Ethernet cable. A power supply subsystem in the housing manages the power received at the Ethernet port. A microprocessor subsystem, powered by the power supply subsystem, receives and processes the audio data to generate output audio signals. A digital audio amplifier, powered by the power supply subsystem, amplifies the output audio signals to drive a speaker driver to render an audio output. The device also includes at least one heater resistor in the housing powered by the power supply subsystem. The at least one heater resistor is controlled by the microprocessor subsystem to automatically heat the interior of the housing when temperature inside the housing falls below a given temperature.
Encoding and decoding systems are described for the provision of high quality digital representations of audio signals with particular attention to the correct perceptual rendering of fast transients at modest sample rates. This is achieved by optimising downsampling and upsampling filters to minimise the length of the impulse response while adequately attenuating alias products that have been found perceptually harmful.

Non linear filter with group delay at pre-response frequency for high res radio
Methods and devices are described for reducing the audible effect of pre-responses in an audio signal. The pre-responses are effectively delayed by employing a digital non-minimum-phase filter, which includes a zero lying outside the unit circle in its z-transform response. This zero is not paired with another zero at a reciprocal position inside the unit circle, as this would linearise the phase modification. The filtering can introduce a greater group delay at the pre-response frequency than at a low frequency, such as 500 Hz or even 0 Hz. The technique can be used to reduce pre-responses in an existing audio signal and also to pre-empt pre-responses that would be introduced to the audio signal by subsequent processing.
Quantisation methods are provided which employ dither techniques to reduce the noise penalty in certain circumstances whilst still removing noise modulation. One method relates to reducing the wordwidth of audio by one bit, while another method relates to burying one bit of data in a pair of signal samples.

Lossless bandsplitting and bandjoining using allpass filters
Methods and devices are described for lossless bandsplitting and bandjoining of streams of signal samples using allpass filtering. The bandsplitting operation reformats an original stream into two intermediate streams representing even and odd samples of the original stream, and then matrix filters these to provide two output substreams representing higher frequency components and lower frequency components of the original stream. Conversely, the bandjoining operation matrix filters two subband streams to provide two quantised intermediate substreams, and then interleaves the filtered streams to furnish an output stream, such that the intermediate substreams are the even and odd samples of the output stream.

Devices and methods for digital to analog conversion (DAC) are provided, in which the analog outputs of an even number of digital to analog converters are combined. The individual converters operate on the same data but there is a relative time delay between the input digital signal received by one or more of the converters and the input digital signal received by other of the converters, wherein the delay is a fraction of the data sample period. Moreover, the data signal fed to half of the converters has an inverse relationship with the data signal fed to the other half of the converters and their analog outputs are subtracted. Dither and filtering techniques may also be employed.

An encoding method and encoder is provided for transparent lossless audio watermarking by quantizing an original PCM audio signal twice, each quantization quantizing to a quantization grid. As a PCM signal is inherently already quantized, there are three quantization grids to consider, the first being the quantization grid of the original PCM signal, the second being that of the watermarked signal and the third being that of an intermediate signal. The technique reduces the amount of introduced quantization error, spectrally shapes the error and fully decorrelates signal alterations from the original audio, thus making the error more similar to additive noise. A decoding method and decoder is also provided, as is a method of altering the watermark without fully decoding the encoded signal.

Methods are disclosed for an encoder to embed a data stream into a quantized PCM digital audio signal and for a corresponding decoder to both retrieve the data stream and losslessly reconstruct the exact original audio. Some methods employ complimentary amplification and attenuation, while others employ gain redistribution. Pre-emphasis and soft clipping techniques are described as methods of losslessly reducing the peak excursion of the PCM audio signal. Also described is the lossless placing of data at predetermined positions within an audio stream.

An encoder for digital audio signals at a higher sample rate creates a stream for consumer distribution at a lower sampling rate, with compatibility for standard PCM players without a decoder. In conjunction with a suitable decoder, two enhanced playback options are supported, the first option allowing full lossless reconstruction of a noise-shaped higher sampling rate signal, the second option allowing lossy bandwidth extension even if an intervening transmission chain has truncated the least-significant-bits of the encoder's output signal.
