RE: WAV better than FLAC accoring to Absolute Sound..

It's a common misconception -- pretty much driven by respective marketing messages, the press and customers who bought into those messages --
that asynchronous USB dacs would solve ALL the issues associated to PC based audio.

Asynchronous USB is an approach to solve one out of many problems associated to PC induced distortions.

If you'd followed what's been reported over here and elsewhere, you'd know that slightest changes/optimizations (HW and SW!!!) on the PC/transport/renderer side will have an impact on the vast majority of DACs out there.

I'm not aware of any DAC which wouldn't respond to transport based optimizations. (And I havn't found anybody who would have pointed me
to such a device.)


Cheers
