TAS vol 3 contains the following quote: "Once a CD or download is converted to FLAC, the only way you can achieve the superior sound of WAV files is to go back to the original CD or source for a new rip or WAV download"
It will be noted that this is not hedged about in qualified terms- there is no suggestion that there is any doubt about the testing methodology. It implies a belief that there exists an distinct property of bit-identical files depending on their origin but not represented in the information in the file. It is not suggested that this in any way depends on the particular system used to pay back the data. Why should anyone be angry about someone writing this? Because the author is either a fool or a liar. -- adamdea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93549 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
