FLAC Degrades sound quality permanently

In the Feb 2012 issue of the Absolute Sound, Part 3 of Computer Music Audio Quality presents some disturbing findings about FLAC files. Once a WAV file is converted to FLAC and back to WAV, the secondary WAV file doesn't sound as good as the original. This has some serious implications about Hi-Res files purchased in the FLAC format.

Interesting reading.
