Hi list users,
Is there a comparison somewhere of the efficiency of decoding flac
files, with respect to some benchmark related to cpu processing? As
compared to, say, ape files? I ask because I have recently switched my
entire archive from ape to flac. I have an old 400 mhz laptop in my
office running xubuntu, which I run into a receiver. Works great. Since
switching to flac, I notice the (rather loud) system fan on the laptop
running much less of the time during playback.
I see on this page
http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lossless_comparison
that a flac advantage is "Very fast decoding" while monkey's audio
boasts "High efficiency", and I was hoping for something a little more
concrete.
