Abstract

A device is provided that includes a plurality of signal processing paths coupled in parallel, an adding circuit and an amplifier circuit. The number of the signal processing paths is N and each of the signal processing paths receives a same input signal to generate an output analog signal after a signal processing is performed, wherein each of the signal processing paths at least includes a DAC circuit and the signal processing at least includes a digital to analog conversion corresponding to the DAC circuit. The adding circuit adds the output analog signal generated from each of the signal processing paths to generate a total output analog signal. The amplifier circuit receives the total output analog signal to adjust a signal intensity of the total output analog signal according to a gain to generate an output audio signal, wherein the gain is 1/N.
