Digital Speech Standard (DSS) is a proprietary compressed digital audio file format defined by the International Voice Association, a co-operative venture by Olympus, Philips and Grundig. DSS was originally developed in 1994 by Grundig with the University of Nuremberg. In 1997, the digital speech standard was released, which was based on the previous codec. It is commonly used on digital dictation recorders. Modern phycoacoustical codecs that perform nearly as well at only slightly higher bitrates have led to this speech coding standard being less used in modern voice recording equipment.
The Sound Designer II file, with the extension .sd2, is an audio file format that was originally developed by Digidesign for their digital audio workstation software, specifically for use in professional recording and editing environments. The format was widely used for its high-quality audio data storage and was particularly popular in the late 80s and 90s. It supports multiple audio channels and bit depths, making it versatile for various audio production tasks.
