RE: Lossless Compression vs. .WAV audio quality ?

Hey Abe,

It is probably more system dependent than a general thing.

I use and advocate the use of .wavs. Hard drives are soooo cheap these days it just makes sense IMHO.

ALso, if you do a search on the general asylum under flac I believe there is an interesting post from an inmate where he a-bs flac vs. wav...something about the transients.

Anyhow, that like a lot of things audio is a big can of worms. You'll get posts about it being bit identical and the "need" for tags etc.

Oh, and IIRC you have a sqeeuze box. DO a search here for post about flac sounding different to John Swenson on his squeezboxes....
