[QUOTE="keithp, post: 1166547, member: 21356"] FLAC is folded (translative/encoded then decoded), WAV & AIF are flat PCM files, IBM/Microsoft & Apple develops four years apart. The short of it is you cannot develop AIF or WAV to be better sound quality wise, the only direction is reducing file size for various different reasons & environments, FLAC is next best quality considering it's compression & never less than 60% of WAV or AIF still makes them massive files especially when they come in an hour, two or more long and at 24 or 32bit float. If one doesn't stream or play vinyl then AIF & WAV library is primary media, that be when MP3-320kbps or East Coast retard radio doesn't cut it. [/QUOTE]
