Re: that was not my impression

"I interpret this as burning 2 identical WAV files, one of which was a decompressed FLAC, the other straight rip from the CD. This interpretation was the basis for my comment."
This is the case. The files, from a *data* comparison with EAC, were identical. But the straight .wav sounded better than the FLAC compressed/decompressed .wav. And this is the comparison I'm going to run with the ABX, with these so-called "identical tracks" burned to CD-R.
