that 3.85 sounds worse with -q1? Or do you mean 3.86?
The quality gap between 3.85 and 3.86 is VERY big. They have nothing
to do with -q1 though (scalefac_scale).
I consider 3.85 -q1 -V1 transparent, but I would not recommend the
current -V0 even as an option with 3.86. There are too many unresolved
issues.
Read the threads I posted a while back about vbr_mt and vbr_rh. the
386 vbr's are filled with noise, and the overall noise levels are much
higher than 3.85. most of this is due to that >20kHz fault I
described.
try lowpassing the music (16k or so), just for the fun of it and
listen again with 3.86. Should be a great improvement already.
