However, in 2005, Philips later sold its DSD tool division to Sonic Studio. ĭSD technology was later developed and commercialized by Sony and Philips, the designers of the audio CD. The proposal to decimate oversampled delta-sigma data before converting it into PCM audio was made by D. J. Goodman in 1969. Decimation did not initially exist, and oversampled data was sent as is. Delta-sigma conversion was first described by C. C. Cutler in 1954, but was not named as such until a 1962 paper by Inose et al. Development ĭSD is a method of storing a delta-sigma signal before applying a decimation process that converts the signal to a PCM signal. Therefore, it is a topic of discussion whether it is possible to eliminate distortion in one-bit delta-sigma conversion. Noise shaping occurs by use of the 64-times oversampled signal to reduce noise and distortion caused by the inaccuracy of quantization of the audio signal to a single bit. The signal is stored as delta-sigma modulated digital audio, which is a sequence of single-bit values at a sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz (64 times the CD audio sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, but only at 1 32768 of its 16-bit resolution). Direct Stream Digital ( DSD) is a trademark used by Sony and Philips for their system for digitally encoding audio signals for the Super Audio CD (SACD).ĭSD uses pulse-density modulation encoding - a technology to store audio signals on digital storage media which are used for the SACD.
