I saw that too.

I believe that FLAC has to convert to integer data for the compression. 
I don't know what the A/D format of the Perseus is?

The Flex is integer I believe.

Might hold some promise. Did anyone hear what the compression ratio of 
FLAC might be if the compression of an SDR wav file could be done 
effectively?

FLAC is supposed to be lossless, but if the input data has to be 
converted from floating-point to integer, is it? Or is that even 
relevant to the Perseus?
