Has anybody noticed a sound quality difference between playing WAV vs. FLAC files on the SqueezeBox3?
I'm wondering if it's possible that there's a slightly fuller, more clean and open sound from playing WAVs directly through the Squeezebox. Of course, theoretically there should be no difference at all, hence my question to this forum. My setup: I tried decoding my FLACs into WAV and playing both through the SqueezeBox to compare. There's absolutely no replay-gain, no equalization, normalization etc. on the FLACs - everything was originally ripped from CD to WAV using EAC, and then compressed to FLAC using Flac v1.2. The FLACs, when uncompressed, yield bit-for-bit the identical WAVs that were originally ripped from CD. What are people experiencing? Is it all psychological or is there in fact something slightly different in the sound quality? -- MusicMonkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MusicMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3875 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20995 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
