Quite possible, I'm using MediaInfo as shipped as part of MPC-HC 1.7.10.264.

ffmpeg version N-82225-gb4e9252, qaac 2.58, CoreAudioToolbox 7.10.7.0

I uploaded test encodes here: https://mega.nz/#!pYgTDQSI!6G1MQCAAd...EZO4jRg76326L0

testffmpeg.mp4 = ffmpeg -i angesprochen-2016-11.mp3 -f wav - | qaac64 --he --cvbr 32 -o testffmpeg.mp4 -

test.mp4 = qaac64 --he --cvbr 32 -o test.mp4 angesprochen-2016-11.mp3

The file generated by ffmpeg | qaac is identified as HE-AAC v2 by MediaInfo.
The plain qaac encode is identified as HE-AAC.

Is there any reliable way of identifying the actual version of HE-AAC employed here?

Edit: Changed host for files
