    Yes if you’re transcoding a CD to FLAC it’s lossless. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the process of digitally recording the audio in the first place.

    Nevermind the fact that nobody seems to have paid any attention to the original joke which is that the boomers who can afford high end stuff can’t even hear the difference.

      You began this by saying

      FLAC still cuts out part of the signal. It’s limited to 20khz.

      Recording from analog to digital is lossy, in the same way as previously described about images. But this has nothing to do with FLAC.
