"Tom compared the WAV to the FLAC file. He wasn't comparing the WAV to the WAV created from the FLAC; these are the two that were identical. Had he compared the latter two they would have sounded the same, of course."I ultimately listened to two identical .wav files, one ripped straight to .wav, the other encoded with FLAC (highest quality setting) and then decoded back to .wav, and burned as successive tracks on CD. EAC indicated the .wav files were identical, but the straight .was to me sounded demonstrably better than the one that went through the encode/decode process.
This is why I'm doing the DBT/ABX test. I want to make sure it's not a placebo effect or some psychological element here. Time will tell.
