I’ve done listening tests on my machine, and was able to discern no difference between the same music file in each format. More importantly studio mastering technicians whose opinion on sound I take very seriously have said the same thing. If you’re really concerned about it you can encode your FLAC files with zero compression. At least you won’t suffer from the drawbacks of WAV encoding.

They would probably miss 1-2 steps in the process though.
Ditto! Though, anything coded in less than this quality do sound sh1te, particularly through my active three way speakers. 🙂
