An audio coder that improves audio quality by reducing a quantization error. When a code corresponding to a sampled value of an audio signal is determined, a candidate code storage section stores all combinations of candidate codes in a neighborhood interval of the sampled value. A local decoder generates reproduced signals by decoding the codes stored in the candidate code storage section. An error evaluation section calculates, for each candidate code, a sum of squares of differentials between input sampled values and reproduced signals, detects a combination of candidate codes by which a smallest sum is obtained, that is to say, which minimizes a quantization error, and outputs a code included in the detected combination of candidate codes.
