Everything about 1-bit Dac totally explained
A
Bitstream or
1-bit DAC is a
consumer electronics marketing term describing an
oversampling digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with an
actual 1-bit DAC (that is, a simple "on/off" switch) in a
delta-sigma loop operating at multiples of the
sampling frequency. The combination is equivalent to a DAC with a larger number of bits (usually 16-20), therefore the
1-bit label is a bit of a misnomer.
The advantages of this type of converter are high
linearity combined with low cost, owed to the fact that most of the processing takes place in the digital domain and requirements for the analog
anti-aliasing filter after the output can be relaxed. For these reasons, this design is very popular in digital consumer electronics (CD/DVD players, set-top boxes and the likes).
A literal 1-bit DAC (operating at the nominal sampling frequency, without oversampling) would produce extremely poor sound: speech is just about intelligible.
