RE: WAV better than FLAC accoring to Absolute Sound..

I have been saying this for years. They are right on with these results, with the exception of saying that FLAC converted back to .wav is somehow compromised. I have not found this to be the case, but I'm using XLD for that conversion. The software used is critically important IMO.

I am convinced that even though static testing with FLAC files shows that the conversions are bit-perfect, that when these CODEC tools are run real-time, some kinds of errors occur. Some manufacturers now convert from FLAC to .wav and then play the file in their servers. They know about this effect.
