Due to all the extra work the hard drive (which is much slower than any modern CPU) has to do to read all that extra data (not to mention all the extra RFI caused by all that extra data moving across an unshielded hard drive cable, and all the added potential for read errors from the hard drive, which is much more error-prone than a CPU).I wonder, has anyone ever ABX'd a WAV file vs. FLAC (or some other lossless compression format), or is all this talk about differences between the two just someone's imagination?
