I read somewhere that it is possible to rip youtube videos (music only) without the need for converting it into an mp3 as such.

The online conversion process (naturally) results in loss of quality, and (apparently) it is possible to preserve the original video’s audio quality via a direct rip. If so, how would it be done and what format would it be in anyway?

thanks

Does it skip the recode completely if the format is already opus?

Yes, it does. It just repackages it from .m4a to .opus without re-encoding the actual audio stream.
