Unlike lossy formats like MP3, which discard audio information deemed "imperceptible" to the human ear to save space, FLAC preserves the original audio data completely. When you rip an SHM-CD to FLAC, the resulting digital file is a bit-for-bit copy of the audio on the disc. This ensures that every nuance of the higher-quality master is retained, offering sound quality identical to the source. FLAC files are typically 40% to 70% smaller than the original uncompressed WAV files, making them practical for storage and streaming without any compromise on fidelity.
