I performed the FLAC vs WAV comparisation quite a few times and the only thing I can say is, that, in my system, with my setup, WAV beats FLAC every time.

Have you done this double blind? If you know whether you're listening to FLAC or WAV, the results of the comparison can't really be trusted.

Quote:I also tested various levels of FLAC compression, including lossless FLAC. To my surprise, I had a slight preference for maximun compressed FLAC over uncompressed FLAC.

All FLAC is lossless, no matter what compression level is used. This is why most people claim that there's no difference between having the server stream files in FLAC format vs WAV format.
