No you dont. This is a completely contrived and invaild way of compairing
perceptual codecs. Please read up on how they work, good freq responce
means nothing!
I can whip up an encoder that will have teriffic results in that kind of
test, have super low bitrates, and sound completely unintelgeiable.
(spectrally shaping whitenoise would probably be good enough).

'sounds' define sounds?
Spacialazation?
Artifacts?
Intelegiblity?
Is it indistinguishable? To who? How do you know?
There is no such thing as an algrithmic objective score of natural
human-percieved sound quality.
