If you want HiFi, then vinyl as CD have a hard cut-off due to the 22K sample rate.
I have some old CD4 type QUAD records where the decode carrier is 30K
I've heard some audiobooks where you can hear that it's lossy. Sure you can use MP3 for most audiobooks, but the bitrate needs to be high enough. I would go with 256K.

When you have an audiobook with music and sound effects, then go for 768K. But lossless would still be better. GraphicAudio has an option for lossless in FLAC. That would sound much better since these books are like listening to radio dramas with multi-cast, music, and sound effects.
