About formats

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) is a multi-channel audio codec originally engineered for cinema sound, now a staple of home theater and Blu-ray releases. Conceived by DTS, Inc. and first showcased theatrically alongside the 1993 film Jurassic Park, the technology delivers up to 5.1 discrete channels of surround sound at bit rates typically between 768 kbps and 1.5 Mbps. Unlike competing codecs that lean on aggressive psychoacoustic modeling, DTS allocates a higher data budget to each channel, preserving finer spatial detail and low-level dynamics. The format encodes audio using sub-band ADPCM combined with vector quantization, producing a perceptibly rich sound field. Its extended variant, DTS-HD Master Audio, adds a lossless extension layer for bit-for-bit accuracy up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Key strengths include broad hardware adoption across AV receivers, gaming consoles, and automotive infotainment systems, along with robust error concealment that masks minor disc or stream glitches. For anyone working with surround-sound content intended for physical media or high-end streaming, DTS provides a proven pathway from studio mix to living room.
Developer: DTS, Inc.
Initial release: 1993
MAUD is an audio file format developed by MacroSystem for the Commodore Amiga platform, introduced in the early 1990s as part of their digital video and audio production tools. Built on the Amiga IFF (Interchange File Format) chunk architecture, MAUD files organize data into clearly delineated chunks — MHDR for the header, MDAT for sample data, and optional annotation chunks for metadata. The format supports mono and stereo layouts with bit depths of 8 or 16 bits and sample rates up to 48 kHz, which represented professional-grade specifications on Amiga hardware. Both signed linear PCM and A-law/mu-law encodings are available, offering a choice between fidelity and file size. MAUD saw primary use in the Amiga video production community, where MacroSystem Retina and VLab Motion boards demanded synchronized audio that the standard 8SVX format could not deliver. Conversion support exists today through SoX and libsndfile, ensuring vintage Amiga productions remain recoverable. Three distinct advantages stand out: clean IFF-based structure that any chunk-aware parser can navigate, 16-bit stereo capability ahead of typical Amiga audio, and lightweight overhead that left maximum CPU headroom for video rendering.
Initial release: 1992

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert DTS to MAUD?

DTS audio may need conversion to MAUD for niche applications, emulators, or hardware that only accepts this legacy format.

What programs can open MAUD?

You can play MAUD using Amiga audio software, and cross-platform tools like SoX.

What happens to audio quality during conversion?

MAUD has format-specific limitations. The converter decodes your DTS and re-encodes within MAUD capabilities — results vary by format.

How many DTS files can I convert at a time?

Upload and convert multiple DTS files to MAUD simultaneously — the batch feature handles them all at once without repeating steps.

Are my conversions secure?

All uploads happen over encrypted connections. Your DTS is deleted after conversion, and MAUD results are cleared within 24 hours.

Is the conversion fast?

Speed depends on the DTS file size, but most audio conversions to MAUD complete within seconds thanks to server-side processing power.
