Abstract
A data conversion method includes the steps of retrieving direct stream digital data one byte at a time from a direct stream digital file, the direct stream digital data being a one-bit data stream, the direct stream digital data being arranged in the direct stream digital file so that temporally first data is placed at a least significant bit of a given byte and temporally last data is placed at a most significant bit of the given byte; and outputting the retrieved direct stream digital data of one byte so that the least significant bit is temporally first and the most significant bit is temporally last.
Claims6
A data conversion method comprising:
- retrieving direct stream digital data one byte at a time from a direct stream digital file, the direct stream digital data being a one-bit data stream, the direct stream digital data being arranged in the direct stream digital file so that temporally-first data is placed at a least significant bit of a given byte and temporally-last data is placed at a most significant bit of the given byte;
- and
- outputting the retrieved direct stream digital data of one byte so that the least significant bit is temporally first and the most significant bit is temporally last.
A data conversion method comprising:
- retrieving direct stream digital data one byte at a time from a direct stream digital file, the direct stream digital data being a one-bit data stream, the direct stream digital data being arranged in the direct stream digital file so that temporally-first data is placed at a most significant bit of a given byte and temporally-last data is placed at a least significant bit of the given byte;
- and
- outputting the retrieved direct stream digital data of one byte so that the most significant bit is temporally first and the least significant bit is temporally last.
A data conversion method comprising:
- retrieving direct stream digital data for each audio channel one byte at a time from a direct stream digital file, the direct stream digital data including frames for at least a first audio channel and a second audio channel, the frames being alternately arranged in order of a frame for the first audio channel and a frame for the second audio channel, each of the frames being a one-bit data stream, the direct stream digital data being arranged in the direct stream digital file so that temporally first data is placed at a least significant bit of a given byte and temporally last data is placed at a most significant bit of the given byte;
- and
- outputting the retrieved direct stream digital data of one byte so that the least significant bit is temporally first and the most significant bit is temporally last.
A data conversion method comprising:
- retrieving direct stream digital data for each audio channel one byte at a time from a direct stream digital file, the direct stream digital data including frames for at least a first audio channel and a second audio channel, the frames being alternately arranged in order of a frame for the first audio channel and a frame for the second audio channel, each of the frames being a one-bit data stream, the direct stream digital data being arranged in the direct stream digital file so that temporally-first data is placed at a most significant bit of a given byte and temporally-last data is placed at a least significant bit of the given byte;
- and
- outputting the retrieved direct stream digital data of one byte so that the most significant bit is temporally first and the least significant bit is temporally last.
A client-server system comprising:
- a client apparatus;
- and
- a server apparatus,
- wherein the server apparatus transmits a direct stream digital file including direct stream digital data to the client apparatus, the direct stream digital data including frames for at least a first audio channel and a second audio channel, the frames being alternately arranged in order of a frame for the first audio channel and a frame for the second audio channel, each of the frames being a one-bit data stream, the direct stream digital data being arranged in the direct stream digital file so that temporally-first data is placed at a least significant bit of a given byte and temporally-last data is placed at a most significant bit of the given byte,
- the client apparatus receives the direct stream digital file transmitted from the server apparatus,
- the client apparatus retrieves the direct stream digital data for each of the first audio channel and the second audio channel one byte at a time from the received direct stream digital file, and
- the client apparatus performs digital-to-analog conversion on the retrieved direct stream digital data of one byte so that the least significant bit is temporally first and the most significant bit is temporally last.
