I'll retest the performance tomorrow on two desktops and one laptop
that I have access to.

Even though there is indeed no meaningful difference in quality, for
project consistency reasons, I'd prefer some careful wordings, because
my results and upstream recommendations disagree, and the
pulse-daemon.conf man page (that we ship with PulseAudio) references
upstream recommendations.

Could you please, if you want to state that there is no meaningful
difference in quality, add a link to the psychoacoustical masking
model that was used during evaluation? I.e. to this paper:
