Frank Ocean Endless Flac Work (Fully Tested)

The lossless version reveals the depth, the paranoia, the loneliness, and the architectural precision of the spiral staircase Frank was building. It is the definitive way to hear an album that exists in the shadows of a much more famous sibling.

| Aspect | FLAC (CD) | Apple Music AAC | |--------|-----------|------------------| | Clarity in highs | Slightly smoother cymbals/synths | Occasional pre-echo or smearing | | Bass detail | Tighter, better-defined sub-bass | Slightly woolly | | Stereo imaging | More precise, especially on headphones | Narrower, less air | | Ambient transitions | Seamless, gapless perfect | Gapless works but with slight data loss |

: The album features contributions from Jonny Greenwood , Sampha , Jazmine Sullivan , and Alex G [19].

Rips of the 2017 physical reissue are considered the definitive "CD Quality" (CDQ) versions of the project.
