For any layman that is confused by this:
VVC is the successor to HEVC. VVC is the direct competitor to AV1, and may have slightly better compression-to-quality efficiency/performance especially when they finalize their Enhanced Compression Model (which is already available in the reference encoder but still being actively developed), but VVC is significantly license-and-royalty-encumbered. It's still early in its lifecycle and only a few commercial/industrial hardware vendors support it. I'm not sure it has seen any hardware-level adoption in retail TV or tablet/phone markets yet - that will probably start happening in 2024 at some point.
xHE-AAC, also called USAC (Unified Speech and Audio Coding), is the similarly-license-and-royalty-encumbered successor to AAC. xHE-AAC is the direct competitor to Opus, and has similar performance to Opus, but as mentioned is license-and-royalty-encumbered - there is no clear reason to choose xHE-AAC on PC, Mac, or Android systems, as they all support Opus in standardized and OS-supported containers (and various third-party PC playback software supports Opus in MKV and other non-standardized containers). The open-source, encoding, and piracy communities have mostly standardized on Opus and AV1 for anime, but "scene" rippers for hollywood films and the like will most likely standardize on VVC and xHE-AAC (I could be wrong, it remains to be seen).
If you don't know how to compile your own decoder libraries into MPV (or you are on Windows where that is quite a bit more annoying to do than on Linux, unless you already have all the Windows programmer tools installed and know how to use them), you can download a pre-compiled version of MPV with VVC/xHE-AAC support by Martin Eesmaa here: https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/VVCEasy/blob/master/MPV.md
You'll need to scroll down a bit to get to the links. The "Windows 7 and later x64" link will work for most people. He also has other builds for other systems available.
