In Reply to: Testing between WAV and FLAC posted by John Swenson on May 30, 2007 at 15:26:46:
Thanks for your informative post.
The results seem very odd to me, because the software performance should be unrelated to the cable that is being used. The software should be sending the same data at the same rate through that cable regardless of which format is used, unless we are dealing with buggy software, in which case the result would be random, not related to a specific cable.
What software were you testing with? Have you tried using the ABX component in Foobar2000 for testing, which makes this kind of comparison extremely simple (a positive result would put to the rest most arguments that there is a difference between the sound produced by the two formats)? I have tried this test, using some extremely resolving headphones in a very high-end setup, and cannot tell the difference between the two formats (nor could my wife, who has pretty good ears and really could care less about the whole argument).
ABX testing with Foobar2000 is about the easiest way to compare two files that I know of...just select two files, right click, and select "ABX Two Tracks..." from the Utils menu that pops up when you right-click.
