@dushman @icedquinn@blob.cat @radmin@limepeeps.perchinup.top @bogdan@arachnid.town the real problem with opus vs mp3 or flac is that opus was designed for speech not music so even at a high bitrate encoded directly from a flac, the range is trash in comparison, you can hear the difference very clearly vs an equivalent hq mp3 on any even remotely decent pairs of headphones. it works perfectly fine for what like youtube and shit use them for or casual listening but if you actually are caring about audio quality in music opus should go straight into the trash. it will always have a noticably duller sound to some degree. could just be audiophile placebo given what the ranges are exactly but i digress
