An ABX test @ 192k

Today I detected an artifact in a 192k opus file.

The vocal sounds slightly hoarse in the 192k opus sample, especially around 10s (む-ねに, mu-neni)

Here's my ABX log.

I was not able to distinguish 320k opus from the lossless.

This is really interesting, my ears (and maybe my equipment) are too bad to hear it. Can you hear that with AAC (Apple lib) too?

Test all three please not just Apple. Apple, FhG and FDK. Thanks.

I'll test the sample with 3 AAC encoders as well (though I only use the Apple encoder when converting into AAC),
but maybe it will take a long time to report that because I've been being very busy in these days.

Best,
