lossless audio codecs and their performance in terms of rate and
compression ratio. Therefore, it is very important to us to know whether a
codec is hardware independent, i.e. if it produces the same output file
regardless of the hardware. Could you please tell me whether FLAC is
hardware independent?<br>Thank you very much in advance.<br>Kind regards,<br></div><div> </div><div>Fernando A.
