Although recent mainstream waveform-domain end-to-end (E2E) neural audio codecs achieve impressive coded audio quality with a very low bitrate, the quality gap between the coded and natural audio is still significant.

A good audio codec for live applications such as telecommunication is characterized by three key properties: (1) compression, i. e.\ the bitrate that is required to transmit the signal should be as low as possible; (2) latency, i. e.\ encoding and decoding the signal needs to be fast enough to enable communication without or with only minimal noticeable delay; and (3) reconstruction quality of the signal.
