I convert to Opus VBR 256 kbps. There isn't a single sample in the universe that gives me audible difference this way.

I'd probably do the same but my dumb brain goes, "500 = bigger so it better"

Yeah, it makes sense unless you learn more about lossy formats, then it becomes too hard to make a decision and you try to simplify things lol.

I went to Opus VBR 256 kbps after a lot of ABX tests, gaining information and analyzing it. Wasn't an easy decision though. Would be easier if I was like "screw it, I'm OK with 450-500 kbps bitrate", then I would just go with lossyWAV + FLAC))
