HOW TO CONVERT FLAC TO WAV WITH EAC SOFTWARE
May have compatibility and display issues with some software and firmware Same to FLAC (binary identical sound content)ĭepend on metadata and frame size and about packed PCM sound dataĭepend on metadata and about packed PCM sound data Same to WAV (binary identical sound content) Though some issues may happen due to implementation. Because WAV contains no standard meta tag implementation and uses custom data block with ID3 format.įLAC has standard meta tag implementation and must be supported by any player, that is comparable with the format.īoth of these alternative formats have partial compatibility of metadata.

However, WAV has displaying metadata (music track information and artwork(s)) issues at some players. And for the exact answer to the question, serious researches are need for number of systems/devices. The author thinks, that it is sound system implementation matter rather. However, there are may be some details, that should be accounted for to avoid wrong results. It may be checked via spectral comparison of analog output of DAC during playback alternative formats. Therefore, noise in the system by processor is higher and sound is degraded despite binary identical data coming to digital/audio converter (DAC).


When the compressed file format is unpacked, central processor unit of computer (or processor of a music device) has a higher load. The hypothesis to explain the sound difference:
