In the field of digital audio signal processing (DSP) systems, the choice between standard and proprietary digital audio networks (DANs) can significantly impact both functionality and performance. This abstract aims to explore the benefits, tradeoffs, and economic implications of these two approaches, providing a comprehensive comparison to aid in decision-making processes for audio professionals and system designers. The abstract emphasizes key benefits of A2B, AOIP and older proprietary currently adopted.

Conclusion
The choice between standard and proprietary digital audio networks in audio DSP systems involves a careful consideration of benefits, tradeoffs, and economic implications. Standards-based systems provide interoperability and cost-effectiveness, while proprietary solutions offer optimized performance and innovative features. Understanding these factors can guide audio professionals and system designers in making informed decisions that align with their specific needs and long-term goals.
