Vorbis legit sounds better at ~128kbps. Can't really tell at 256kbps though. Also there were a couple of songs (one of them being Rods and Cones by Blue Man Group) that I could tell were compressed if they were less than like 512kbps but it was very minor nitpicking

i expect that you abx tested this

yes. you can really only tell on the maracas at the beginning though. once the full band kicks in it's way too complex to nitpick anything
