Does AES77-2023 set different loudness targets or peak limits from AES TD1008, and what can I read for free?

No open source read states the numeric targets in AES77-2023, which is a paid standard. A trade report says AES77 is based on TD1008 and does not recommend loudness range or device playback targets; TD1008's own figures (-18 LUFS speech, -16 LUFS track-normalised music, -14 LUFS for the loudest album track, at most -1 dBTP at the codec input) are public and already reviewed. Whether AES77's numbers equal TD1008's cannot be confirmed from open sources.

AES77 text unread (paid); trade report is secondary. Limitations: Open sources read 2026-10-22; AES77 itself not read (paid); AES site not retried. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
