Have you read the full version of the last MSU subjective comparison? I've only read the free snippet, which doesn't have enough info to say either way, but it's possible that fits the criteria or is at least in the right ballpark, potentially a statistical tie:

On the other hand, similar to how complaints about electric cars are now "I don't like the minimalism of their touchscreen interfaces" when not too long ago you'd hear how they were physical impossibilities, I think the fact that we're now at this level of complaint for the previous generation of royalty-free codecs is a testament to how far we've come.
