| Use case | Recommended Opus bitrate | |----------|--------------------------| | Archival quality (then to tape) | 256–320 kbps (or 160–192 if space is tight) | | Casual listening through R2R | 128–160 kbps | | Lo-fi / experimental | 64–96 kbps | If you actually want the sound on tape
We are witnessing a post-resolution era. No longer are we obsessing over 384 kHz DSD vs 32-bit/768kHz PCM. Instead, listeners are focusing on how the conversion happens (R2R ladder) and how the file is delivered (efficient OPUS). r2r play opus
: If you have legitimate iLok-protected software, the R2R emulator may occasionally conflict with your existing drivers.
