Integrated Circuit Amplifier Chips, also known as “audio amplifier integrated circuits”, have a development history that reflects the pursuit of higher efficiency, smaller size, lower cost, and better sound quality. The core of the evolution of IC amplifier chips is the transition from “sound output” to “high fidelity”, and then to “energy efficiency and high … Read more
A DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) serves as a bridge between the digital and analog worlds, and its development history is a chronicle of high-fidelity audio and precision industrial evolution. The core of DAC chip development revolves around the evolution from “sound production” to “high fidelity,” and then to “high integration and multifunctionality.” The main development line … Read more
While some may think that vinyl record players are a thing of the past, Swiss high-end audio equipment manufacturer HiFiction AG is proving otherwise. The company has released a groundbreaking product under its brand X-quisite, integrating cutting-edge components such as a ceramic 3D printed shell designed for its moving coil cartridge, elevating the listening experience … Read more
Abstract Language models have been successfully used to model natural signals such as images, speech, and music. A key component of these models is high-quality neural compression models that can compress high-dimensional natural signals into lower-dimensional discrete tokens. To this end, we propose a high-fidelity universal neural audio compression algorithm that can compress 44.1 KHz … Read more
