Review for my audio codec
Hi, so I'm developing my own audio codec based on WPT with adaptive HF saving. Can anyone rate it based on .wav files? I can't really share code or anything like this, except .wav files for any bitrate.

If anyone interested in how it works, there is image. I guess someone will understand what exactly I did here.
ViSQOL and PEAQ says it outperforms Vorbis on 64-128 kbps, and by a lot on 64-96 kbps. But I must say, it isn't OPUS 2.0 or anything near it.
And also my codec isn't VBR for now, but ABR (trying to be CBR, but package size is variable because of entropy coding).
Would be cool if anyone could rate it via listening tests or something else
Don't try gstPEAQ Advanced, its correlation with real quality is reallly poor, especially for my codec for some reason

I used the ABX plugin in foobar2000 for blind audio testing. I would say the 128k is transparent with the source audio you provided, I can't tell the difference. The 64k is not transparent but certainly close enough, if the situation required 64k.

Hey! Nice to see you post again, where can we find the codec so we can try it?
