I like flac and I understand the human desire to get the best quality of everything. You can’t tell the difference between 25mb flac and 2,5 mb 160 kbps opus though.
Alright, I will concede that Opus at 160kbps is really good. I always knew at low bitrates it was better than mp3 but I have not used it in awhile. I store everything in flac.
But if anyone else wants to compare: https://opus-bitrates.anthum.com/ lets you compare various bit rates of Opus. I think I hear a high end distortion in 160 that I don’t hear in the 512, but it could be expectation.
