I decided to try out the FLAC format.....I converted an uncompressed AIFF file to FLAC....I usually have my music in 192kbs AAC format if I burn from my own CD, and the 256kbs AAC of the iTunes store if i buy it there....I played the new FLAC file and compared the same track to the 192kbs AAC file that also came from the same AIFF file, and it's hard to put a finger on it, but the FLAC sounds better...It is very subtle though....Am I imagining it, or should a FLAC file sound better than a 192kbs AAC file?? I used the "MAX" OS X software to do the FLAC conversion. I played the FLAC file in the VLC OS X player.
I have not tried the Apple Lossless Format yet. Do FLAC and the Apple Lossless sound pretty much the same? Or are there differences between FLAC and Apple Lossless sound quality wise?
