Obviously the source is crucial, but for the purpose of this post let's assume that we are dealing with a perfect source, in a perfect room, with perfect everything.
What I am wondering is, in order of quality, how do the different formats stack up?
Would it be:
SACD
CD
FLAC
ALAC
wav
ogg
MP4
MP3
windows audio (I forget the achronym)
mpc
raw
I am sure there are other formats, I guess these are the most common?
where does analog (vinyl) fit into the mix?
