I've found 128 kbps opus to be the best quality to stream my music when I'm not home. It is very fast to encode on the fly, and outside the house I mostly listen to music with either Bluetooth headphones or sometimes in a car, so playing something like flac would be a waste of bandwidth.

Maybe I'm old, but I do not hear a difference between 128 kbps opus and flac. I mainly use flac because it is an excellent archival format and you can encode it to different formats easily.

Yea same with me. Unless you have a perfect setup this is good enough. Though if you want to do a little experiment, try Fatboy Slim's Kalifornia, the beginning is notorious for destroying transform based codecs.
