I have seem to have a few possible ringing issues at 0.50 and even 0.55 with some tracks i tested out. Which seems to appear on cymbals. Here is a few ABX test i did with the latest version of Nero AAC at q 0.50. Also these problems still appear on the older Feb 07 version aswell.foo_abx 1.3.3 report foobar2000 v0.9.6 beta 1 2008/10/21 20:17:57 File A: C:\Rips\Marilyn Manson - Lest We Forget (The Best Of)\01.

Am not sure though, if its a ringing artifact since am not sensitive to ringing.foo_abx 1.3.3 report foobar2000 v0.9.6 beta 1 2008/10/21 20:21:07 File A: C:\Rips\Metallica - Ride The Lightning\07.
