In contrast, the FLAC version—typically 24-bit/96kHz or 16-bit/44.1kHz—restores the “black space” between notes. The most revealing test is the song’s silence. In the MP3, the quiet before the final “Skyfall” chorus is a low-grade hiss of compression noise. In the FLAC, that silence is absolute, making the subsequent orchestral hit genuinely startling.

Furthermore, Adele’s voice—a contralto rich with vibrato and rasp—suffers greatly under lossy compression. The FLAC format preserves the natural harmonic overtones of her vocal cords, transforming a potentially tinny playback into a warm, room-filling presence.
