Someone sent me a question late last night and I briefly looked at his file this morning and couldn't figure out the answer, so I'm posting here.<br><br>A friend has a a ~275MB 24 bit, 48khz stereo wav file of rock music that when compressed using flac level 8 gives a flac file under 110 MB in size. When I dithered his file to 16/48 and converted that file to flac, the resulting flac file was actually 2 MB *bigger* than the corresponding 24/48 flac file. Does this make sense to anyone?<br>
<br>He says that his 24/48 files always compress to around the same size as the same files converted to 16/48 or 16/44.1. I couldn't give him an answer as to why.<br><br>Does anyone have an answer?<br><br>Thanks,<br>
