I can’t say this in a nice way, but this statement is made up. Any chance you could slow it down? Thanks,

I have no idea what this means, and I can read even less of the rest of this paragraph. Now here’s where it gets strange? vintage vinyl has stereo + stereo depth perception (3d sound stage).digital audio has stereo + mono depth perception (2d sound stage)

Could happen, I suppose, but you have to be very gear specific to show this to me because I don’t have this issue. If there is any, I suspect it is caused by the decompression algorithm and the DAC front end. Sorry, my friend, I’ve never experienced this, nor have I heard a difference between WAV (no compression) and FLAC. However if you encode the same song using every different flac compression level even though they will all be lossless there absolutely is a difference in the overall sound including tone and sound stage from level to level and doing your own test will only prove me right Now flac is lossless compression so there should be no sound loss from the original source no matter what compression level you use I’m not sure the dial is universal to all encoders but let’s say they are. This is probably ripper dependent, but sure, you can often configure compression to go between low/fast compression to high/slow compression. O.k are you ready for some truth friends ? flac has compression levels from 0 to 8 with the official flac default level being 5. here is an audio sample: level 5 level 4 this is why digital audio does not sound like vintage vinyl along with brick wall compression.i find it odd that the only flac compression level not recommended as a default no matter what software you use is flac compression level 4 ? it just so happens that re-encoding digital audio to flac with compression level 4 converts digital mono depth perception back into digital stereo depth perception (3d sound stage) just like vintage vinyl! and i don’t think this is by mistake friends ? do your own test and get ready to have your mind blown. now here’s where it gets strange? vintage vinyl has stereo + stereo depth perception (3d sound stage).digital audio has stereo + mono depth perception (2d sound stage) and this includes all new remastered vinyl cut from the digital master.

now flac is lossless compression so there should be no sound loss from the original source no matter what compression level you use however if you encode the same song using every different flac compression level even though they will all be lossless there absolutely is a difference in the overall sound including tone and sound stage from level to level and doing your own test will only prove me right.
