Well, my position remains that if 2 programs are properly engineered to meet the same requirements, they will. 2 + 2 = 4 will come out the same way regardless if the program is written in C, Java, Pascal, VB or any other language assuming the programmer is competent.For lossless formats, the requirements are clear. You must be able to compress the data, then uncompress it, and the uncompressed data must exactly match the original. Easy to test to see if the programmer was able to competently meet these requirements.
For playback software, the requirements given the programmer can vary, and it is harder to test to see if the programmer has met those requirements (but not impossible).
It is not a given that approximations are required to meet the requirements of playing back music. For upsampling, yes. For simple playback of the 16 bit integer data in the bitstream, no.
