While this is theoretically true, any differences in compression and error recovery that are selected in the program (Exact Audio Copy etc.), could play a part in the way the flac file sounds. I am going to fiddle with the settings on EAC and find out if it does make a difference. But since I have more than enough room on my hard drive I have no problem using .WAV for my reference stuff.
