<\/span><\/h2>\nAAC or Advanced Audio Coding is very different from AC3. AAC is a type of digital audio format that is promoted as the successor of MP3 because it generally achieves better sound quality with the same file size. The AAC format is a more advanced format than the AC3 format. It will create better sound quality than AC3 with the same bitrate, especially at low bitrates. Below is a more in-depth comparison between AC3 and AAC.<\/p>\n
History:<\/strong><\/p>\nAC3 was developed by Dolby Laboratories and was originally called Dolby Stereo Digital until 1994. This format has been adopted as the international standard of Moving Picture Experts Group since 1997.
\nAAC was developed in cooperation with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Dolby Laboratories, Sony Cooperation, Nokia and Fraunhofer IIS. In 1997, Moving Picture Experts Group declared AAC an international standard.
\nQuality:<\/p>\n
The AC3 file format is a 6-channel environment sound that provides a total bitrate of 384 kilobits per second and is compatible with frequencies up to 48 kHz. You must use a Dolby Digital compatible amplified cinema system to reproduce the full effect of an AC3 track.
\nAAC can store a large amount of audio information using little space. It is a more advanced audio format than AC3. Its average frequency ranges from 8 to 96 kHz, so the sound quality is better than that of AC3 when the audio file is encoded at low bitrates.
\nCompatibility:<\/p>\n
AC3 is widely used as a standard soundtrack for DVDs, Blu-ray, HDTV programming and game consoles.
\nApple adopted AAC as the default format for iTunes and iPod since 2003. Most devices and players are compatible with the AAC format. Many car sound systems adopt AAC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
