After this claim was made in e34e3619a2b kamedo2 did in-depth ABX
testing 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, "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.

-quality is on par or better than libfdk_aac at the default bitrate of 128kbps.
-This encoder also implements more options, profiles and samplerates than

-encoder has become the default and is the recommended choice.
