There is only a slightest quality-difference between Opus & AAC (Opus being better quality). All good GPU:s nowadays (even since Nvidia GeForce 950/960) got FULL hardware-decoding for HEVC

Even a Opus@128kbps got longer a much decoding-time than AAC@144kbps,
Opus@128kbps: "Decoding time: 0:00.832".
