This is definitely better than some of the others out there. I threw together some comparisons here at 7kb/s for mp3/opus/aac: https://non.io/TSAC-Comparisons
Happy to add other comparisons if others want any.
Overall, it's FAR better at these lower bit rates, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily good. One issue I see off the bat is that volume is fairly inconsistent in the output for TSAC, which makes stereo in particular quite hard to listen to with the volume "flickering" in each channel independently.
