Comparison of sound quality between AAC and WMA
General description
Comparison of AAC, WMA and MP3 sound quality. Since the difference in AAC is very large according to the encoder, we use two types, QAAC as a representative of excellent coders and VO-AEACENC as a representative of deficient coders.
QAAC 1.18, which borrows and encoding the Apple engine (Apple Support Software), which is also used in iTunes, wmaincode_0.2.9, encoding the Microsoft engine that comes with Windows XP or later, and the known open source encoder MP3 Lame We heard and qualify a total of 4 Visualon Vo-Aacenc 0.1.1 types, which recently became open source, 3.98.4, which also serves as a billing standard.
result
QAAC 192KBPS> WMA 192K> QAAC 128K ≒ LAME 192K ≒ WMA 128K> LAME 128K ≒ VO-AAC 192K ≒ VO-AAC 128K 128KBPS, VO-AAC 192KBPS, VO-AAC 128KBPS were the highest ratings.

Method
Eight eight audio files were shuffled using ABC / HR for Java 0.53A and MHP -A1 to listen and scoring with the brand face down so that the preconceived ideas on the brand will not affect it. 1.0 = I am very concerned about the deterioration of sound quality 2.0 = I am worried 3.0 = I am a little worried 4.0 = I can see the change in sound quality with respect to the original sound, but I do not care 5.0 = I do not know the Change in sound quality, I can not distinguish. If you want to grant a score of 4.9 points or less, perform the ABX test 20 times, answer 15 times or more (the likelihood of getting a higher rating in a coincidence is approximately 2%) and make sure you can listen to The difference before doing so (2.9 is omitted if it is less than or equal).
The same test was repeated in the SE-DIR800CII and the average was calculated. The score in this test is 15 (sound source) x 4 (BITS rate) x 2 (times) = 240 (times).
