I agree - and even if there is a tiny difference in the very top end if you stand in front of your rig and strain your ears for it (which I'm still not at all convinced of) you're going to be putting it through a mixer and playing other music on top of it and EQing it and generally f*cking with it anyway - that's kind of the whole point isn't it? So what if it only sounds 99.9% identical to the uncompressed wav - that's surely utterly immaterial when you've got something else's bassline underneath it and some looped sample running over the top... or maybe I'm missing the whole point of mixing.
