It might do. Then again, it might not. > As far as I can see, decoding FLAC only requires a difference sequence > of code to be executed and code is code. The same digital data is sent > to the audio backend. But that code is not being executed when PCM data (as in PCM data received over the network) is being sent to the DAC. I have no evidence that this phenomenon has any effect on the output, or that it even exists at all. In fact, I'm highly skeptical. I am merely highlighting certain things that could *possibly* cause a difference between natively-decoded flac and flac files decoded on the server.
