Honestly, that's not so ridiculous. Lossless will sound different from lossy, and someone may prefer the lossy version.
- 323 4y agoThey were comparing FLAC with raw uncompressed PCM wave files. Some swear they can hear the difference.
- mort96 4y agoOh. Yea that's either BS or a serious software bug.
- JohnBooty 4y agoIt's pretty trivial to go PCM->FLAC->PCM with e.g. ffmpeg and verify there's no difference. I suppose it's possible there's a software bug with the actual FLAC decoder they were listening with. However it of course seems much more likely they're imagining it.
