I’ve done the blind test before and 128k sounds the same as 320k, but flac and wav sounds clear and clean to me. IDK how people can tell the difference between 128k 320k (unless it was back in the day when encoding took longer and they used bad quality to save time)
try taking the ABX test lol
https://abx.digitalfeed.net/lame.320.html
this compares uncompressed audio and a 320kbps LAME-encoded mp3
(opus, on paper, should sound better than mp3 at half the bitrate but whatever)
(the website also has an opus 160kk test, but it’s resampled so take it with a grain of salt: https://abx.digitalfeed.net/opus.html)
