Are there standard-ish codec comparison processes that we can run to see how much perceived fidelity is lost in compression here?

Perceptual codecs must almost by definition be perceived. So the “standard” comparison is an ABX listening test.

Ah, so not like movie or image encoding where we have perceptual scoring algorithms that evolve over time. Thanks!
