There seems to be another multiple format test @192kbps on r3mix.  If
you got better luck than I, you could download the files from:

Yes, I agree with what Attila says: RC2 doesn't sound as sharp as LAME.
 However, even beta4 didn't maintain the original sound at high notes,
neither.  Taking whether LAME or Vorbis is still remained as the matter
of tase, I think, though.  I can't tell which is better in all the aspects.
 (After beta 4, I just simply compare Ogg and LAME and take which I like).

Well, what you meant was only masking part, then.  Sorry for the dummy
question.

Developers know theories but we know what we hear.  Some theories are
convincing but the others are not.  We ignorant mortals only can be subjective.

Well, I am sorry but I do not seem to reach the files.  :-(  Someone
who has got better ears?
