I have only evaluated the liquifier pro 4 and it seems to me, at 96kbits/s stereo,
it still have some problem with certain clips that contained a lot of attacks. I have downloaded this test sample "dmb3, dmb4" and the encoder just could not take it.
Maybe for certain audio clips, the bits demand is just too high and there maybe a need to lower the cut-off frequency.

It is a  tough to decide when to cut-off the frequency, because then, for MOST musical clips, it is OK to encode up to the maximum frequency.. Only those that contains a lot of attacks which is not too closely spaced such as a person playing drum would consume a lot of bits.

Perhaps someday, I could upload some of these difficult clips.

One note - LiquidAudio bought Dolby's "Consumer AAC Encoder" for the verion 6 - this version is different from encoding engine used in Liquifier 4.x and 5.x.

Dolby claims "performance almost equal to"  professional (slow) encoder, with more than 10 times real-time encoding.  So,  the quality will be sacrificed a bit.
