2020 Lossless Codec Shootout
Updated 2020-04-03
mostly every dead or alive codec out there. 16bit/44.1kHz only this round. everything tested that it decompresses accurately (certain unlisted codecs failed, at least on my win10). flake level 12 is non-standard and not allowed at ttd, like most of the codecs listed here. I'll add a couple more when I get to it. let's check the results!
