I used Xing for a while (some time ago though). At 'ordinary' bitrates of 128k or so there was a definite loss of the higher frequencies, it left my mp3's sounding very dull. I can't speak for more recent copies as I dropped back to AudioGrabber & Lame and have been pretty happy. I only rip occassionally so I'm not a speed freak.
