Hey, this is fun :) I suspect that CD correction is not inaudible (otherwise, why not use it for compression, none of this messing with FLAC and MP42). However, I have no evidence for this, thoughts welcome. totoro;175422 Wrote: > Bit perfect. I md5'd the contents of the resulting flac files. So you found sonic differences on identical files, indicating that there is an audible difference in how the SB3 (?) decodes lossless files? That is an interesting conclusion. Please excuse me if I say, in the nicest possible way, that I love flame wars. I'd greatly appreciate any comments that people have on the two above issues.
