That's because none of those samples are Opus files, except the last one. It even says so on the page.

No. I did evaluate it before picking Opus. It only beats Opus at very low bitrates, and open source encoders for AAC suck.

Here's an Opus audio file that plays fine in Safari on macOS and iOS: https://kur-static.biblica.com/audio/GEN_001.webm https://kur-static.biblica.com/audio/GEN_001.webm (Note: I have no idea what this content is, but could not find any English Opus content in the wild.) > …and open source encoders for AAC suck. Yeah, the disparity is a real bummer.
