In Reply to: WAV better than FLAC accoring to Absolute Sound.. posted by samoore on January 7, 2012 at 20:54:24:
Just assuming that WAV sounds ever so slightly better than FLAC, I wonder if the supposed difference gap can be minimized with a higher performance CPU?
The only thing I can think of that might make FLAC worse would be the extra processing power needed to uncompress the FLAC file during playback. Just a thought... which would fly in the face of those who build flea power low clock rate music servers AND play FLAC files.
