quality issues #13

Hardware: modest gaming laptop speaker running Win10 & Firefox

Example: demo blogpost

Issues: Too much siblance (sharp s & ch & some other Transients) Slow 'attack' at the start of some words (eg video of girl: M in "made", W for "What", & TH in "Think" have their initial loudness cutoff). Overall EQ seems too bright

Pros: Quality is easier to understand than Opus. & thanks for improving speech compression; so many times I had to manually tweak clients' talks' audio files to compress better.

I could do more deeper audio analysis if you need; I used to do audio DSP programming....

Our listening test show that the new Lyra 1.2.0 has significantly higher quality. I am curious about your perception.
