Encodec is a neural audio codec developed by Meta for high-fidelity, low-bitrate audio compression using end-to-end deep learning. Unlike traditional codecs (like MP3 or Opus), Encodec uses a learned quantizer and decoder to reconstruct complex waveforms with remarkable accuracy at bitrates as low as 1.5 kbps. It employs a convolutional encoder–decoder architecture trained with perceptual loss functions that optimize for human auditory quality rather than raw waveform distance. ...
