After this claim was made in e34e361 kamedo2 did an in-depth ABX test comparing these encoders: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=111085.0 Result: FFmpeg AAC wasn't as good as libfdk_aac on average. I know some things have changed since then such as, "use the fast coder as the default" (fcb681ac) for example, so maybe the situation is different now. However, I am unaware of any recent comparison. So without any substantiation we shouldn't make such a blantant claim.
