Since Ballard's codec is "AI" based, can you add google's lyrav2 ( https://github.com/google/lyra ) and Facebook's/meta EnCodec ( https://github.com/facebookresearch/encodec ).
Also I don't seem to be able to access your page, so there might be error.
Finally, when doing opus comparison it's good now to denote if it is using Lace or NoLace decoder post processing filters that became available in opus 1.5 (note, this feature need to be enabled at compile time, and defying decode a new API call needs to be made to force higher complexity decoder) . See https://opus-codec.org/demo/opus-1.5/

Another useful model to compare to would be DAC https://github.com/descriptinc/descript-audio-codec
This is the codec that TSAC extended, so it could be a nice comparison to see. I'd also echo Vocos (from sibling comment), it operates on the same Encodec tokens but generally has better reconstruction quality.
Opus doesn't support 44.1 kHz because compatibility and effort/benefit ratio:

The browser audio limitation is presumably a workaround to some bug or performance limitation that was relevant at some point in history (the site was created in 2014).
