And of course Apple wants to mark it's territory by peeing on it too. Like WV, ape, mkv/mka and the motion picture layers, ie MP3 and M4A. Other codecs usually also provide a container. If you want you could put WAV inside a flac container but that makes no sense. WAV is just the naked audio, so it doesn't have pockets to hold any tag information.įLAC is not just the audio codec but it also means the container. It is the 'don't think, just tell me what numbers you see' method (not taking into account the left right channel information switching). So there's no IP for any codec to consider. (disclaimer: I haven't followed the discussion for a while so I'm not up to date on all conversation, and I don't have a degree in math so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)Ī slight correction. When paired with an MQA decoder, the MQA file reveals the original master recording". As per MQA's own site: " MQA will play back on any device to deliver higher than CD-quality. I didn't need to buy any new equipment did I? It played the FLAC layer (I don't know the properly terminology), just not with whatever special MQA sauce was supposed to be there. Played it via JRiver through four different DAC's and a ten year old DAP. As pointed out to me, they come in a FLAC file. Or does twisting oneself into a pretzel really help? Okay, straight from XIPH's own LICENSE page "The FLAC and Ogg FLAC formats themselves, and their specifications, are fully open to the public to be used for any purpose." What authority are you citing for your interpreation?Īnd no you don't need to purchase a product to decode MQA files (if that is the nexus you are trying to draw to the violation of the spirit of FLAC that is floating around in your head). That does not change the fact that a FLAC file was exchanged for money/profit.
