![]() ![]() If there are ID3 tags too this causes that behaviour. If anyone could tell me why I sometimes lose my tag data when I move a flac file to a different hard drive, or at least how to prevent that I would appreciate it!īe sure tags are Vorbis Comment only. It is possible a system without 8 CPU cores and 32GB of system RAM might show different results. Results consistently showed no differences that couldn't be explained by one of the many random background processes Windows 10 forces onto us. I ran multiple tests recording CPU usage during playback of the same file as WAV, Uncompressed FLAC, and FLAC compression 8. I'm still a little confused about how to put a wav file into a flac container but If it's simple enough I vote for adding the capability. I couldn't seem to find anything besides DBPoweramp that offers uncompressed FLAC. I find it interesting that the creators of FLAC didn't include this option in their own software. To conclude this I must say that i give +1 to FLAC especially as it is aprox 1/2 of WAV and not even counting other aspects like tagging.īebu89 wrote:Add option to convert music files and rip CDs to uncompressed FLAC (1411 kbps) The further investigation found that FLAC decoder and FLAC as Format is much better used when passed thru DSP and upscaling to higher bitrates by trying to improve dynamics where WAV is left as is and played exactly the same as 44.1/16 like not DSP is applied. I've done same as above, but this time I was able to distinguish one track sound better to me with higher fidelity and dynamics. ![]() So I can conclude that both are same.Īs I can play 96/24 thru my soundcard I enabled interpolation of original 44.1/16 -> 96/24 and do same compare test. Simply I could not determine which is which. I played both tracks in sync and let my wife change orientation from one to another without me knowing which one is playing. As track I choose is Classical Orchestral Tune which I can then use on High volume due the its quiet parts I should be able to hear any differences. Done Byte By Byte compare and they are identicalĬONCLUSION: so WAVFLAC conversion is losslessįor My listening I'm using custom build headphone amp and Audiotechnica M50x headphones. Used HEX editor to Strip all Metadata and additional non Audio headers from file leaving pure RAW audio Data Byte on Both filesĤ. here is what I have tested after I ripp single track from CD into WAV and then Compressid it into FLAC for Comparison.ģ. Only difference from WAV and FLAC from my point and testing is due the decoder. ![]()
