    Hi all,

    Suppose I have a DD 2.0 AC3 file.

    If I simply convert it to WAVE and then back to the same format, will the ending one be lossy when compared to first one ?

    Please note that I am aware that original LPCM conversion to AC3 is a lossy process, but my question refers to the case in which the original is already AC3;

    Thanks,

    Zetti

    Yes. Every encoding to a not lossless format introduces some drop in quality.

    WAV ->loss-> AC3 ->WAV -> loss ->AC3
