Any affect will be inaudible to human ears. For a more detailed 
explanation, see http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html

No. It is not possible to encode information for frequencies above 20 
kHz in the bitstream, even if an encoder wanted to.

Opus is a lossy codec, so it will always change the numerical values in 
the actual signal. But if you can find a sample that you can distinguish 
from the original in an ABX _listening_ test (as opposed to by looking 
at a spectrogram) at 192 kbps, then we'd certainly be interested in 
knowing about it.
