All wav files are uncompressed, not only "EAC wav files". And the compression in all FLAC files is _lossless_ (that's what the L stands for in FLAC), and therefore as equally perfect to the original CD track as wav.

THAT IS THE > TEST. I don't see how you're going to do the statistics on that test. Part 1 sounds like it would be much better to do it as an ABX test, which would provide more conclusive results than Tom saying "I hear these differences". I understand that Tom won't know which source is A and which source is B, but will he know when you are switching them? -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88364 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
