I've been reading the current MQA thread and I am having some trouble understanding how any argument can be logically formed that something is identical to the original when it clearly is not.
I didn't want to be seen as derailing or being off-topic, so I have posted my reality-check question here.
If you have any original file as a .wav, DSD, or whatever, and you convert the original file to a lossless file format, such as FLAC, I am correct in thinking that you can then convert this file back to it's original format and it will be identical digitally to the original file and not just indistinguishable from the original when compared as an analogue file?
Lossless means digitally lossless, doesn't it?
