In Reply to: 192 Khz 24 bit MLP vs Uncompressed posted by uzun on January 31, 2005 at 17:43:49:
however since MLP is proprietary, who knows how lossless it really is. Any form of compression is going to fail under some conditions. Look at the WinZip for computer files. For a highly random file, you get virtually no compression. The alternative, if you force compression under these circumstances, would be to lose information. So there may be some pathological cases where MLP has losses. I would expect this to be rare or never though. Under normal use, it should be a completely bit-for-bit identical file that results and then there is no downside, except the processor has to do more work.
