apple aac or fraunhofer aac (the same institute invented mp3) are even a little bit better.

Does that apply to higher bit-rates? At >140kbps stereo I have been unable to tell them apart myself and I have not found a review or comparison where they used bit rates I would consider using.

Asmodian, i found both nero and apple basically transparent at around 100 kbits (2ch movie soundtracks), probably you would need to go a bit higher with music.
p.s. however that doesn't tell much, since I'am not young anymore and no golden ears either.

http://listening-tests.hydrogenaudio...96-a/index.htm When it comes to higher bitrate it's personal and depends of a lot factors. There are pretty old public tests. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec_listening_test Yes, they're old but Apple encoder was always the best encoder in those AAC tests. And the last public AAC test also prooves it's true at 100 kbps. There is also a good tester Kamedo2. He has tested AAC encoders http://d.hatena.ne.jp/kamedo2/20111029/1319840519 qaac is Apple AAC. |

Great! Thanks for the information. I had not seen Kamedo2's results.
Also while not sounding bad in any way I do not consider 100kbps, with Nero at least, to be transparent. Some complex sounds sound slightly different just not human voice and simple sounds. Last edited by Asmodian; 14th May 2012 at 19:46. |

FAAC doesn't even support HE-AAC. At low bitrates this is a clear disadvantage compared to the other encoders mentioned.
Also, as far as I know, the development of FAAC is pretty much dead...

1. how good you are in listening to the music and individual factors 2. what kind material you use for comaprisons, because some codecs are better in encoding some specific material than others You can make some training, e.g. Vorbis has problems with pre-echo and rock guitars like The Cult, Brygada Kryzys, etc. |

probably quite the opposite, if you think that "hi-quality" is linear response (and the codecs are probably tuned to that direction), but i don't have any black on white evidence either.
