I've been playing with both FlAC and WAV this afternoon on my Bryston BDP-1 and I agree there is definately a difference between the two.  After lots of back and forth listening, I'm almost certain it is only a slight volume increase on the Wav files and nothing more.

Quality wise, everything appears to be the same and the dynamic range is identical, but the FLAC file plays a little quieter, which gives me more granularity on my volume control, which I like.

Hi Wayne

I have wrestled with that myself. I was feeling that I prefered Wave but wanted to love Flac due to album art flexibility and open architecture.  Maybe your on to something there with the slight volume increase :thumb:
