aoTuv Vorbis vs Vorbis (xiph)

I have never tried vorbis always used AAC, Opus and MP3. I am thinking about converting few of my flacs from my lossless collection to ogg vorbis. I came across two types of vorbis encoder one of which is available in foobar2000 from Xiph and the other one is aoTuv. Which one produces better audio quality?

I will be using 192 kbps (q-5).

Maybe you'll find the info you're looking for inside the Hydrogen Audio -> Wiki:


There are also earlier threads discussing the same, like:


Here are some other recent builds:


If in doubt you should perform a ABX / blind test to see if you can spot any difference. That's easy with foobar2000 + the "ABX Comparator" plugin:

What i learned from this above information is that aoTuV doesn't offer any advantage at high bit rates like at q6 or q7. It is tuned only for low bitrates, q5 and below.
