If you're using the latest EAC/lame then go through the configuration wizard and select when it asks you about which style of DAE you want, select "I perfer to have accurate results" vs. "only speed is important" option.

Then let it install and configure LAME for you as well. And make sure the "use recommended settings (from r3mix forum)" is selected. The default EAC/LAME combo works great.

Oh yeah, go to File->configuration wizard to start the ball rollin'

later,
