I took the 16/44 file from Fremer and converted it to 24/96 without adding dither. The FLAC file was 18.905 KB. Obviously the low order bits were digital black. I then added dither that was 96 dB down. The file size was 18,907 KB. Looks like another example of FLAC being unable to further compress real world files in ways that capitalize on non-trivial interchannel redundancy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106593 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
