Evolution of MPC encoders

Hi,

I was looking through some files in my collection and found that I have some old albums encoded in MPC with the Buschmann 1.7.9 encoder with 'standard' or 'xtreme'. I was wondering if the progress in MPC has been significant or rather more like 'fixes'. Quite frankly, I don't think I can ABX any version with the standard preset, so this question is asked with a more theoretical and technical point of view. Would the warm, fuzzy feeling from the progress be significant enough to merit the hassle of asking my father to bring some of his CDs, or should I rather not bother?

Don't bother unless it really bothers you with the warm and fuzzies... I haven't reencoded anything major since I was introduced to MusePack. So far I cannot ABX anything from standard onwards (I encode in --xtreme though just so I can transcode and give me some leeway). If you have time by all means go and do it just to get consistency across your files.
