Do you do tests by frame-to-frame comparison or viewing from your normal viewing distance? What comes to hevc-aq, I only found it to blur the image a helluva lot. Aq-mode 1 has still been the best all-round choice compared to the automatic variance methods.

It's basically impossible to remove grain or noise without removing a lot of the details as well. Motion compensated methods do help there a bit but they are still not going to do wonders. That's why I myself only do slight motion compensated denoising.
