Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To reduce signal output and wiring to a D/A converter (DAC). A DAP 1 comprises a DAC 7 that D/A-converts LR 2 channels digital audio data into LR 2 channels analog audio data, an amplification circuit 9 that amplifies the LR 2 channels analog audio data that the DAC 7 D/A-converts, a DAC 8 that D/A-converts the LR 2 channels digital audio data into the LR 2 channels analog audio data, and an amplification circuit 10 that amplifies inverted LR 2 channels analog audio data that the LR 2 channels analog audio data that the DAC 8 D/A-converts is inverted.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A music reproducing device having a balanced output and an unbalanced output comprising: a first D/A converter that D/A-converts a left and right 2 channels digital audio signal into a left and right 2 channels analog audio signal; a first amplification circuit that amplifies the left and right 2 channels analog audio signal that the first D/A converter D/A-converts; a second D/A converter that D/A-converts the left and right 2 channels digital audio signal into the left and right 2 channels analog audio signal; and a second amplification circuit that amplifies an inverted left and right 2 channels analog audio signal that the left and right 2 channels analog audio signal that the second D/A converter D/A-converts is inverted. 2 . The music reproducing device according to claim 1 further comprising: a first power source circuit that supplies power source voltage to the first D/A converter and the first amplification circuit; a second power source circuit that supplies power source voltage to the second D/A converter and the second amplification circuit; and a controller, wherein the controller shuts down the second power source circuit in case of the unbalance output.
