Opus / Re: xHE-AAC : The Death of OPUS?
Last post by magicgoose -In principle nothing stops something like LossyFLAC or maybe even ("up-tuned") Musepack from guaranteeing 100% transparency due to the way they work. (you can basically require them to maintain a certain SNR at all times, no matter how many bits that would take)
Pure lossless-compressed PCM is always going to use more bits than necessary for louder intervals and that's the lowest hanging fruit to shave off some % of bits.
