FLAC is the ripped data of physical CD... How can you say flac format sound is similar or better?
By doing an actual comparison as I stated in my first post. When I had my ayon cd2s player, I used a cd, ripped a flac from the cd then used the player and compared the Flac using the digital input of the ayon cd. Did I hear a difference,
Not really so that is why I said it is similar, however on some flacs I felt bass was better So that is why I said better. Since then I have ripped majority of my cds and listen to only the files.
Cheers,
