Memory and bandwidth are cheap nowadays. I no longer use FLAC, no need. There is plenty of memory and bandwidth for .WAV files.

As Wikipedia reminds us, "As FLAC compresses losslessly, the decoded waveform is identical to the waveform before encoding". Just wanted to get that out there. ;-)
I do agree with your point about memory and bandwidth being cheap these days, and I recently upped my internet connectivity to 2gbps. Why did I do this? Just for fun!

I'll say it again, FLAC decoded in real time never sounded "right" to me..... (It's a different story if it's decoded prior to playback.... ) I think the decoding in real time introduces a "correlated jitter" component, which I believe is the culprit.
I agree; I use wav, not FLAC on my FIIO X5 II as the FLAC had slightly less emotion when I compared years ago.

This is a big reason why I've had great results using a reclocker with a streaming device.........
