TTA 2.0 lossless audio codec

hrm ..

did a few wav files and it was around 500KBs lower than ape.

course i don't feel like doing commands all night. but on a few music files, it's not really that ahead of the pack.

besides .. lpac and ape, optimafrog sound better than tta

how can it sound better if it's lossless?

i meant the name. guess i was too rushed to hit reply. besides .. you do realize lossless means decoding back to the original and identical wav and not the sound. -- you might be thinking transparent.

ill read over at HA to see if they reviewed it.

When you're dealing with lossless formats, what's 20MB here and there for a whole album?
multiply by the hundreds of albums most collections are.....plus look at that speed....😎

Thanks, looks like the size comparison is misleading and based on specially-chosen CDs that do better in TTA while the HA posters are getting about the same or worse compression than other codecs.

Misleading stats, restrictive license, evasive developer -- I think I'll stick with FLAC.
