mmm respect to all |
That's not true unfortunately. Encoding with a slow PC won't make any difference to the sound quality, unless it can't have the power to encode at a high bitrate, but I don't think that's the case. I used to use Audiocatalyst because it was fast, but then I read some shocking reports on it, and the quality is actually far from Perfect. Then I went to use the Radium release of the Frauhnhofer engine. It was much slower, but the result was a crisper, clearer, overall better sounding rip. And with expensive stereo equipment, I DID notice the difference.
I visted a site (www.r3mix.net) that has the complete rundown on encoders and they recommend only LAME. I use only that now, and the quality of that is absolutely brilliant. And it encodes with a good speed too. As mentioned before any good rip group will use LAME v3.88b.
