In Reply to: Re: 'Unlike software, there are no precise data patterns in music. So I question whether "lossless" can truly be lossles posted by Todd Krieger on February 13, 2006 at 00:41:30:
using the flac encoder/decoder, which is open source, or the free (but not open source) Monkey's Audio encoder/decoder. If you don't get bit for bit copies back, please post- by design, you should.These type of lossless codecs cannot offer any sort of guarantee on compression. Somewhat counterintuitively, if you consider a completely random bit pattern, that contains in some sense the most information and cannot be compressed at all. For music, these codecs offer somewhere around 50%, but I've seen as much as 70%- it depends on the music itself.
"the conversion on-the-fly is likely to exacerbate jitter and add RFI"- no argument there, there are a number of possible reasons why one converter may sound different from another. Different CD players sound different after all, and they are all reading the same bits.
