Favorite Settings For Lossless and Lossy now that 4.70.x is out?

Just wanted to pick the brains and see how people are using WavPack now with the new version.

I like the lossy option but keep it a lossless backup with the correction files, so I am stuck with hb384xc currently

So, for me:

Lossless/Lossy:  hb384xc
Lossless only:    hx3

Is there a transparent setting that anyone has noticed on their own lately lower than 320-384?  Just curious.  I know that shadowking is a big fan but look forward to any input from anyone.

Thanks for the help and thanks to David for our beloved WavPack.

As you're probably aware, many have reported their settings in the thread below:

My preference, after being able to spot noise in a blind test at ~270kbps, is for bitrates higher than 320kbps. (350kbps in my case, just to be on the safe side).

And just to be TOS8 compliant, I'd be happy to post the above-mentioned test results (plus my current settings) ASA I'm back home in the evening, in case anyone requires them.

I just cannot recall the exact bitrate they were run at, a few months ago.

Anytime.

Here are my settings BTW: (though I'm definitely no guru)

-hb350x2

Coincidentally, now that I've finally taken the plunge and bought another pair of decent headphones, (Koss Porta Pro) it is time to put said settings thru their paces and check how gentle they will be on battery life, on my Sansa Fuze.

I'm using -hcb4x4 right now. Keeping the correction file archived and the lossy part on my laptop, phone. 4bit/s is the sweet spot of Wavpack told by many guys here on Hydrogenaudio so i decided to go with it. I'm listening to music at my workplace with a Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro + Fiio E10. I'm also listening to music in my car over A2DP. So far, so good i found this setting adequate, haven't hear anything bad yet.

The average lossy bitrate is 374kbps on my collection of various music.

Would you have any comments regarding whether these settings are gentle or not on battery life, for portables?
