Supports sf2, sf3, sfz or sfArk (all versions). Oh, and it is free! http://polyphone-soundfonts.com/en/

Regarding compression, SFZ don't use compression. It uses standard wav files for samples. The SFZ file itself is an XML description of how to use the wav files. AFAIK SF2 and GIG doesn't compress sound. It pack the samples inside, with the meta-info about how to use the samples.

* These years I've researched few iconic sample libraries from vintage samplers like Fairlight CMI, Kurzweil, Casio FZ, Ensoniq Mirage, Roland. All straight from disk, converted to Commodore Amiga suitable format (8bit). Note: They're older than 25 years, but some of these samples still can be copyrighted. You might not use these for commercial purposes, intended for studying, teaching, research and historic interest (FAIR USE). https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxJms1Iu8GIicktfWHh2U2s2V2s74
