A transcoder reduces excess requantization error in quantization of spectral data. The transcoder phase shifts data decompressed by a decompressor. The phase shifting causes a change to corresponding spectral data produced in later transform coding of the decompressed data. When the spectral data is then quantized to reduce bitrate, the earlier phase shifting reduces excess requantization error. After transcoding, a second decompressor can compensate for the phase shifting by, for example, reverse shifting by the amount of the phase shift. Instead of phase shifting, the transcoder can reduce excess requantization error by, for example, adding random noise to the decompressed data or changing transform block sizes.
