AAC vs OPUS Format Comparison

Aspect AAC (Source Format) Opus (Target Format)
Format Overview
AAC
Advanced Audio Coding

AAC is a lossy digital audio compression format designed as the successor to MP3, offering better sound quality at similar bit rates. Widely used in streaming, digital music stores, and mobile devices.

Lossy Compressed
Opus
Opus

Opus is an open‑source, lossy audio codec combining SILK and CELT to deliver low‑latency, high‑quality audio across a wide range of bit rates.

Lossy Compressed
Technical Specifications
Sample Rates: 8kHz - 96kHz
Bit Rate Modes: CBR, VBR
Profiles: LC, HE, HEv2, LD, ELD
Channels: mono (1), stereo (2), multichannel (up to 48)
Extensions: .aac, .m4a, .mp4, .3gp
