Use software like or Audacity . Load one FLAC track. A true CD-rip (16/44.1) will show a frequency cutoff at 22.05 kHz (Nyquist frequency). If you see a sharp cut at 16 kHz or 18 kHz, the file was sourced from a lossy file (fake FLAC). TFM releases famously pass this test.
: High-quality lossless versions of this compilation maintain a wider dynamic range compared to newer, peak-compressed remasters. This allows the nuances of his "gravel-filtered" growl to breathe without being buried by modern loudness. Instrumental Clarity
In a standard MP3 (320kbps or lower), the codec strips away what audiophiles call “transient information.” That means:
