If you're indeed able to detect a difference between lossless CODECs, then lossless is not lossless! The point of a lossless CODEC is to give you back the exact bits that were encoded. Many here use FLAC and have shown, in various ways which are intolerant of bit errors, such as HDCD, FLAC test, etc., that FLAC lossless is indeed lossless. I personally have not used ALAC, but I'm guessing that it would pass the same sort of lossless tests since it is called lossless.
So, no, it does not make sense that FLAC and ALAC would sound different. -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43910 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
