In Reply to: RE: Disagree with the FLAC Recs......... posted by Todd Krieger on September 20, 2014 at 20:56:11
"lossless playback... to be less tolerable than even lossy playback". You find that, great for you. It has no connection to reality though.
"Apple Lossless decoded in real time will have a similar ill effect to FLAC decoded in real time."
Not so on SB as SB is optimized for FLAC, but I challenge those who make such claim to repeatedly and consistently determine which one is which between WAV and FLAC files on a properly set system.
"The sonic character of the files changes when either copied or de-fragmented".
You must be one of those who claim also that the same file sounds different when stored at different location. I say you need serious professional help, professional like people in white coats. Other than that, if you read around and understand how the data is stored on a CD you may see the light and understand why your statement is nonsense.
Follow Ups:
Don't get too worked up. This poster floats pie in the sky nonsense as fact and purports to have magic perceptual powers.
I find some of his preferences utterly bizarre, and his observations of no value.
Todd is often outspoken and has his own ideas. He'll tell you how great the old Magnavox 5 disc changer sounds with a Don Allen mod. I do agree with him on asynchronous upsampling. He's wrong on this one though as I wrote in my post. No need to attack him though on a personal level. Nothing good comes from that. You can attack the statement he made about MP3 v FLAC as I see it as silly myself.
