Michael Jackson Invincible 2001 Flac Better _best_ Direct
Digital vs Vinyl | Page 8 - Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum
This is why a standard FLAC rip of the standard 2001 US CD, while lossless, may still sound "bad" to a critical ear. You are preserving the "clipping" (distortion) perfectly.
: The album is known for its "aggressive" and "sharp" transients—the sudden hits of drums and electronic beeps—which remain "snappy" and distinct in a lossless format rather than sounding "muddy".
