deja vu all over again :-)

Hey, did't we have another thread about this in the last week?

I'm one who has been using FLAC for > 7 years and have yet to convince myself there is *any* audible difference through headphones or speakers. (Okay, maybe there's a difference on my Celeron 600MHz computer from ~1997 but that was more popping and obvious decoding problems when multitasking!).

I have played FLAC vs. WAV to friends and my wife with NOBODY being able to tell a difference if I asked which "copy" of the song they preferred (I usually will tell a little white lie like "I just bought a new copy from Japan and wanted to see if there was a difference".)

Therefore, IMO, there's no problem to be worried about at all. There are many other more worthy factors to worry about in audio reproduction.
