Jeanchris - we all agree that the process is "bit-perfect" as you describe. However there is a THEORY that the cpu inside the SB may work harder decoding flac vs wav and that extra work may generate more noise/interference/something that affects the DAC and/or digital output - maybe jitter?. It is just a theory and is NOT proven by anyone. I can't hear any difference myself.
