FLAC emerged as the audiophile’s insurgent response. An Eyes Open FLAC rip from a 2006 CD contains every bit of data from the master: the 44.1 kHz/16-bit depth, the full stereo imaging, and crucially, the low-level details.

Thus, “Rob Link” became slang: a promise of a perfect, bit-perfect, lineage-verified digital copy of a CD that was, ironically, already becoming obsolete.
