Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for reducing low frequency loss in a magnetic storage device. For example, some embodiments provide data processing circuits that include: an input circuit, a processing circuit, a data detection circuit, and a baseline compensation circuit. The input circuit receives a first data input and provides a second data input. The input circuit excludes low frequency energy exhibited in the first data input from the second data input. The processing circuit generates a representation of the second data input, and the data detection circuit generates a representation of the first data input based at least in part on the representation of the second data input. The baseline compensation circuit calculates an accumulated difference between the representation of the first data input and the representation of the second data input across a number of bit periods, and calculates a compensation factor based at least in part on the accumulated difference.
