Is the quality the same from FFMPEG vs Eac3to?

Sorry if this has been answered before but googling I don't really see an answer. I know FFMPEG has had big strides with their audio in the past.

Sorry if this post was not allowed.

It depends on what kind of quality, task and settings, the quality of developer support is better for ffmpeg because there is a team of open source developers behind it while closed source eac3to or madvr are not well maintained since a few years.

The long answer:
10/03/2015 7.425.024 avcodec-54.dll The same than ffmpeg but old
10/03/2015 179.712 avutil-52.dll The same than ffmpeg but old
19/11/2017 2.040.080 eac3to.exe Last eac3to version
20/11/2008 242.176 libAften.dll Aften obsolete, always better ffmpeg like AC3 encoder
14/11/2015 228.352 libdcadec.dll Dts free decoder but old, ffmpeg better
10/08/2019 723.456 libFLAC.dll You can update that library from flac_dll-1.3.3-x86 (http://www.rarewares.org/files/lossless/flac_dll-1.3.3-x64.zip)
18/02/2010 868.352 neroAacEnc.exe Old aac encoder, good but qaac is better for low bitrates.
