I just wanted to re-confirm what I had written so I ran another test tonight. I just did the following test using dbPowerAmp: Ripped a track to FLAC named ORIG_FLAC.flac (Compression level 5) Ripped the same track to WAV named ORIG_WAV.wav Converted ORIG_FLAC.flac to ORIG_FLAC.wav The end result is: ORIG_FLAC.flac 23,492,868 bytes long ORIG_FLAC.wav 44,262,464 bytes long (flac file converted to wav) ORIG_WAV.wav 44,262,464 bytes long When I do a FC /B on Windows the wav files are exactly the same - No Differences Encountered. I had done this a long time ago evaluating FLAC and comparing EAC to dbPowerAmp. My CD's arre pretty much pristine so when I ripped a bunch of discs and compared EAC to dbPoweramp the results were the same but I found dbPoweramp much faster and user friendly so I went with it. Since I had over 2,000 CD's to rip I didn't mind paying a few bucks for the program. -- fred7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fred7's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6523 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38258 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
