if you really want the highest quality rips possible, use Exact Audio copy with the Lame extreme preset. With the current version of Lame, variable bit rates with joint stereo deliver the extra fullness and richness when it is needed. EAC does offer a preset for 320 CBR, but the developer calls this setting insane.
EAC, unlike CDEX, scans each track, looking for two exactly identical wave forms or the closest exact match possible. It repeatedly scans a tract, dozens of times if needed, before ripping it. CDEX does not perform this error checking analysis. If you want the best rips in town, use EAC. It takes longer to learn, but the rips sound really great. CDEX is easy to use and I still rip audio books with it. For industrial strength music output, I use EAC.
