it seems to me in an all flac capable multitrak software like reaps that the same thing is occurring ie filling buffers with flac data instead of wav data.


After further study of Flac I don't think this is true at all .. eventually the DAC needs audio data (which is what gets buffered along the way)
Your DAC doesn't decode the Flac to audio ..that decompression/conversion would happen inside the box earlier on before being buffered ..
I may be wrong, but I don't think so
If I am it wouldn't be the first time, even in this thread smile
