That is not a particularly helpful or edifying posture, Stan.
Doing some more reading I note that as well as FLAC compressions 0-8 there is also an "Uncompressed FLAC" option, and that I did not know. I am guessing that is what you are referring to when you say "That's why I don't use any compression if I am the one creating the FLAC file from for example a CD."
Now I need to learn some more. I am supposing that an Uncompressed FLAC is something akin to a WAW but wrapped up in such a way that metadata may be conveniently attached; and I am supposing that such an Uncompressed FLAC would stress the playback device less than a highly compressed format that has to be decoded on the fly.
I would value more elucidation. Is anyone offering?
