Abstract

A method for playing back the sound of a digital audio signal comprising an oversampling step consisting of producing, from a signal sampled at a frequency F, a signal sampled at a frequency N×F, where N corresponds to an integer greater than 1, then of applying convolution processing to a first digital file sampled at a frequency N×F corresponding to the acquisition of the soundscape of a reference sound space, a second digital file sampled at a frequency N×F corresponding to the acquisition of the noise footprint of a piece of reference playback equipment, a third digital file sampled at a frequency N×F corresponding to the acquisition of the noise footprint of an equalizer and a fourth file corresponding to said oversampled audio file, the resulting digital packets then undergoing digital conversion processing at a sampling frequency F/M corresponding to the working frequency of the listening equipment.

Claims (2)

1. A method for playing back the sound of a digital audio signal, comprising: a step of oversampling is executed, which consists in producing, from a signal sampled at a frequency F, a signal sampled at a frequency N×F, where N corresponds to an integer greater than 1, then in applying convolution processing to a first digital file sampled at a frequency N×F corresponding to the acquisition of the soundscape of a reference sound space, a second digital file sampled at a frequency N×F corresponding to the acquisition of the noise footprint of a piece of reference playback equipment, a third digital file sampled at a frequency N×F corresponding to the acquisition of the noise footprint of an equalizer and a fourth file corresponding to said oversampled audio file, with the resulting digital packets then undergoing digital conversion processing at a sampling frequency F/M corresponding to the working frequency of the listening equipment.

2. The method for playing back the sound of a digital audio signal according to claim 1 , further comprising an additional step of recomputing the file corresponding to said noise footprint of the reference sound space, so as to change the balance between the space channels of said noise footprint.
