WAV versus FLAC


Until now I though that the sound coming from the files in these two formats are identical. However, recently, I have heard from a person whose opinion I respect highly that sound from WAV files is "warmer" and that from FLAC files is "brighter".

I wonder if anyoner else have similar observations?

Thank you

The real test, in my opinion, isn't WAV vs. FLAC but rather WAV vs. WAV converted from FLAC. Would WAV converted from FLAC retain brightness? Would it gain warmth?
