        You cannot compare kbps numbers of files encoded with different codecs and make assumptions on quality.

        Each codec is able to compress differently good, so a 64kbps in opus sounds much better than 64kbps in mp3, for instance. 128 kbps in opus for stereo is plenty, quasi-lossless, while on other formats it is pretty bad.
