Such claims have been made many times in the past. Upon further investigation, they always turned out to be: 1) not audible in a blind test, hence almost certainly the result of expectation bias, or 2) the result of replay gain. WAV files do not have replay gain (I'm pretty sure), FLAC files do. So if you've enabled replaygain for your FLACs there will be an audible difference, simply due to the volume adjustment. It is well established that volume differences have a very strong affect on perceived audio quality. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34122 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
