Tangential to this, I've noticed significant differences in audio quality when listening to audiobooks at 2x speed on VLC vs MPV. In particular MPV doesn't seem as clipped.

A bit of an open ended question, but is there anything more I could do to process the audiobook to make it sound even better at 2x?

Sounds like you could download Audacity 3.4 and make a 2x version of your audiobook files using their new time stretching algorithm.

2x! What kind of books are you reading? I have gone as far as 1.4-1.5x, but that feels about the best I can do without having to be laser focused on just listening (ie not doing chores or other minor activities as is my habit).
