Is there a difference between WAV and Apple lossless or WMA Lossless. I've heard there is a difference but why wouldn't lossless mean flippin lossless? All WMA or ALAC does is compress the files with out data loss. So how can you NOT hear detail that was never lost? Are certain lossless formats better than others? Is there a difference in stereo separation between codecs?
I dunno, it just seems common sense that WAV, or true lossless, would be the same as another lossless format as far as sound. Any thoughts about WAV sounding better than WMA lossless (or any other codec) seems like just a placebo if you were told one was better.
