I don’t know what’s lossy about FLAC, the “L” stands for Lossless? But really FLAC is just a wrapper, it only insures that what’s been wrapped comes out the same when it’s unwrapped. It’s what’s inside the package that determines if it’s ‘hifi level’, for instance a FLAC file could contain either a 16/44 or 24/192 recording. Now I’m not saying that the 24/192 is necessarily going to sound better, but theoretically it should be a more accurate representation of the original signal. What I’m saying is that while FLAC is the industry standard package for compressed lossless audio (ALAC being an alternative), FLAC alone doesn’t guarantee a good recording is inside. I have no experience with MQA. Thanks for correcting me.. I was thinking flac files were lossy but what was lost was not important to the music.. I’m not a tech type lol. You may have also been thinking about compression (the C in FLAC). Normally we consider compression a bad thing, in music or audio in general it means less dynamic range, but with FLAC it just means the file takes up less space, so it’s a good thing. Edit: Not sure what I was thinking, other than to explain when compression was good, but the C in FLAC (and ALAC) is for CODEC. |

I think Creimes understands what I said, but you apparently do not.
