The theory being that the microprocessor executes sufficiently different instructions between decompressing flac and wav to impact the psu in a way that impacts the rest of the player? I believe the processor uses a 1.6V rail and the oscillator impacting jitter is 3.3V so there is little chance of this [even if we believed the first assersion]
Now if this thread had been about the visualizer or scrolling text impacting the sound quality then it would be more interesting....
