I have not done any A/B blind testing. As an audiophile, of course I shy away from any sort of objective, scientific methods.
But anecdotally, I think my WAV files undoubtedly sound the best, and as I have said in many other threads - why even risk a loss of sound quality when hard drives are only getting cheaper!?
Also, it really irritates me that I spent a lot of money downloading Apple alledgedly "lossless" files that I can't use on open source players like Foobar. Even worse, I think there are some other protective codes which might limit playback to a certain number of computers?
I like the iTunes interface, and would happily pay to download WAV files, but I am otherwise staying away from Apple.
They are closing to spirit in Microsoft than their ads would have you believe.
