There is a definite reduction in sound quality. This can be heard especially in the bass which is lacking in control and definition. This is present in both 16 and 24 bit flac source.

I have transcoded the same FLAC file to wav24 on 0.72 and 0.8.1 and I have saved the resulting WAV data to disk so that I can do a comparison. The WAV data produced by 0.72 and 0.8.1 is identical.
