Digital data integrity is actually quite remarkable. Back sometime in either 2007 or 2008 I ran the following little test. I ripped a CD I own into flac files. I uploaded the flac files to a news server which meant having to encode the binary data as text. I then downloaded the flac files from the server which meant having to decode the text back into binary data. I then used the downloaded files to burn an audio CD. I then played the original CD and the burned CD and there was absolutely no audible difference. As I said, digital data integrity is remarkable.
