You missed this gem, from the same post:

"[...] allowing me to easily hear differences between different levels
of flac compression and uncompressed wav so the time came to convert
all those heavily compressed flac files to a more revealing format."

And I realized (again) why I don't spend much time on head-fi.org
anymore. Hey, anyone wants to buy my gold-plated USB cables? Only
$300!

Sarcastically yours,
