    You said FLAC limits files to 20 kHz. Walk me through how the page you linked to supports anything like that claim.

    Because I checked that same page, before pointing out: FLAC encoding doesn’t even understand sample rates. It just sees a block of samples. Integer values go in - the same integer values come out. It’s not called “lossless” because people think it sounds neat.

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

      That was worded poorly, and as it was worded is incorrect. I have no idea where I got google from other than I copied it from the first google search result and didn’t think about it. That’s what you get when you make a lazy ass comment from your phone. All my audio is at least 16/44 What I should have said was:

      At 20khz FLAC still cuts out part of the audio.

      Or just left that first line out entirely and only had the actual joke so people wouldn’t latch onto nitpicky shit:

      Even 20khz typically well above the limit of an adults hearing, especially someone old enough with enough money and equipment to be considered an audiophile.
