yes u should uncompress the flac to wave. but it would be difficult to figure out if the track has been originally rendered as 16bit or 24bit...  |

You only need to uncompress if you want to burn to cd for example. Or maybe for programs like traktor. Don't know if they play flac files.

Traktor handles FLAC just fine in my experience. Older versions of traktor might not but the version I have handles it alright
I think the main issue might be that no one has written an optimized flac decompressor like they have written an optimized mp3 decompressor.
If disk space is no object then decompressing to wav in advance will save you CPU usage since your program will not have to first decompress the flac when it loads it.
The major downside to that, imo, is that FLAC supports tagging and wav has no tagging (so you cannot have artist name, track name, bpm key etc) |

I download a lot of free releases in FLAC, rip cds to FLAC, mix bounced (WAV i assume) files in Live. Not much significant difference in my ears

flac is completely lossless !!
Try using an application to decode the flac file to wav and burn it to cds and then play it I guess on cdj's !!
cheers!

My experiences with FLAC:
loseless (by definition - it's how the system works).
Latest version of Traktor (and the one before) works perfectly with FLAC. I've heard some people say that it doesn't, but I had no problems.
When I got wavs, I make them flac for the tagging and for conservation of space.
I played in parties with Traktor running flacs (99% of what I play is flac) and it was good. No problems.
