Thanks so much I can't wait to hear this!
FLAC is 100% lossless. That is, there is no information loss. Converting a file from WAV to FLAC and back to WAV will result in a completely identical (try it and SHA-1 or MD5 or CRC32 it) file, so long as you don't add ID3 tags or the like. There is absolutely no change whatsoever.
I don't think you quite grasp what FLAC is about or indeed have much knowledge about 'audio quality' as a general principle.
