I bought the server boost once, hoping it would improve the audio quality of my little channel. There was no discernable difference, and as I do not need more dancing blinking emojis, I canceled the subscription again.

Discord's voice codec, which seems to be based on Opus, delivers surprisingly high-quality audio even at lower bitrates. Additionally, its integration with Krisp for noise filtering enhances its performance, making it one of the best voice chat services I regularly use. This observation comes from my experience of frequently using voice chat over connections with high latency, where Discord has consistently presented the fewest issues. Ironically, this efficiency somewhat diminishes the appeal of boosting a server for improved voice quality, which is both unfortunate and amusing in a way.
