This is really amazing and deserves more attention. Audio codec work has been kind of neglected lately, with the increases in bandwidth and storage making near-transparent lame v0 mp3s the obvious choice for many applications, but almost unnoticed except to codec nerds like myself, Opus kept improving and was already head and shoulders above any other codec. That includes Vorbis and AAC. We're now at the stage where 96 kb/s stereo audio is reliably transparent, with the occasional quirky sample that might require 128 kb/s or 140 kb/s for full transparency. That's a remarkable achievement. I applaud the Opus team for their hard work.
