Re: WAV, Lossless?

Is FLAC really lossless? I understand the technical aspect of it, but I have compared the FLAC files to WAV files using my portable player, Cowon iAudio X5. The player is supposed to be one of the best portable players available today. I use an X5 to Headroom Airhead via a lineout cable to a pair of Etymotics ER4S headphones. The FLAC files have no bass and sound really bright comparing to .WAV files.

I've removed all FLAC files from my player and replaced them with the original .WAV files.
