![]() As part of that 24-page report, I review the Sooloos (above,left)and Qsonix ( above, right) servers. ![]() ![]() I recently had the opportunity to evaluate FLAC and WMA Lossless in my special report on music servers that will appear in The Absolute Sound Issue 177 (December). But we all know that identical data can sound different – jitter (timing errors) in the clock that controls the digital-to-analog conversion process can introduce analog-like variations in sound quality.īut how do these lossless systems sound in critical listening tests through a reference-quality playback system? That is, all lossless schemes deliver perfect bit-for-bit accuracy to the source data. It’s an easy matter to prove that the datastream coming out of these systems contains the same bits as what went in. I recently received an e-mail asking me to weigh in on the controversy over whether lossless data-compression systems such as FLAC, Meridian’s MLP (the basis for Dolby TrueHD), and Windows Media Audio (WMA) Lossless degrade fidelity.
