Ron,
I believe you're giving the right answer to the wrong question!
You are describing the vaguaries of the digital->analogue conversion
process, not the encoding/decoding of the flac format which takes place
in a non-timebound digital domain and can be proven to be entirely
accurate, i.e. what you put in you get out.
I read the original statement as saying that there was a possibility
that FLAC encoder input <> FLAC decoder output. And I interpret Pat's
response to say the same. It was this assertion that I described as
"rubbish".
Everything else you have said about PSUs, noise, RFI, etc., while
completly valid is not really relevant in this instance.
R.
