"I believe that once a flac file is decoded to wav it is the same (file wise) as the original wav sound it was encoded from."

I've run file compares using EAC, and the WAV file decoded from FLAC, from purely a data standpoint, is indeed identical to the original WAV.

I think the sonic difference is purely a "jitter" or "timing" issue, in regard to how the data is written to disk.

"And I'll say this. Computer audio or network delivered audio is as far as I'm concerned: Theoretically at least intrinsically better than CD or vinyl."

I'm not sure what you mean by "intrinsically", but if I'd had a choice, I'd burn a CD with the best software possible and listen to it on a good CD player, rather than playing it directly off a PC.
