A noise cancelling circuit (1) is used with a D/A converter , the converter including a first modulator (11) and a data output. The circuit (1) comprises an error measuring arrangement (12, 13, 14) for measuring a quantization error signal of the modulator (11). A filter (19) receives the error signal and provides a filtered error signal. A filter compensator (17) coupled to the data output provides a compensated output. A scaler (15) coupled to receive the filtered error signal provides a scaled filtered error signal. A second modulator (16) coupled to receive the scaled filtered error signal provides a single bit stream of error data. A summing arrangement (18) sums the single bit stream of error data and the compensated output from the first modulator and provides a corrected output, such that the error signal is filtered, scaled and modulated and the data output is compensated such that the corrected output is obtained having a substantially reduced quantization error.
