An audio signal reproduction device of the invention has a seventh-order delta-sigma
modulation circuit that receives a PCM signal and that performs delta-sigma modulation
on the PCM signal, a PWM circuit that performs pulse width modulation on the signal
outputted from the seventh-order delta-sigma modulation circuit to produce a one-bit
digital signal, a switching amplifier that converts the one-bit digital signal
into an analog signal and that then amplifies it, and a low-pass filter that eliminates
high-frequency components of the analog signal. This configuration permits size
and weight reduction.
