Has anyone experienced any audible degraded in sound quality when play files in FLAC vs. WAV?
Does the CPU create noise/strain when the conversion of the FLAC player is processing?
Certainly uses some CPU cycles, but I've noticed no performance issues.
exactly. The amount of processing power required to decode the FLAC back to LPCM before outputing the signal is quite minimal. With nothing else going, I'm sure even a real old P3 computer could handle it. Which means that with modern processors, it's essentially not an issue at all.
