Quicktime pro resampler quality? Options

[Mix3dmessagez]

I use quicktime to downsample needledrops to 48hz tvbr *for ipod use*
I've also come across foobar sox resampler which I've read is the best
I've tried to do comparisons *downsample with sox to 48000hz then convert with quicktime or convert using quicktime*
Usually the bitrates will be the same *on average* however sometimes sox downsamples will be one bit higher *on average*
I've tried to look at the individual bitrates for the first few seconds of each song *Just to see if there's a conclusive difference* and they seem to handle things quit differently, I notice the bitrate changes faster when downsampled with sox, I know that probably isn't a determinant as to quality, but it's all I know
With sox I use very high, 48000hz, 95% passband, allow aliasing, 25% phase response *someone at another forum said those are best settings*
On quicktime, best quality, variable bit rate, and recommended sample rate
I also want to know as if Sox is better I can resample all needledrops to 48hz flac *from 96 to save space*

Ah, I've forgotten one thing:
You will need "--rate 44100" or something to specify target sample rate, if you want to test sample rate conversion!

1 out of 1 tracks converted with major problems.

Am I doing something wrong?

Please upgrade to 1.35 if you are running 1.31.
--native-resampler was updated very recently.
