Assuming no other conversions at the same time (e.g. sample rate or sample 
depth), none.

.wav is the extension traditionally used for uncompressed audio, which is a 
file format of convention only.

.flac and .ape are both lossless formats, which means you can convert from 
.wav to one of them and back and get the *exact* same data.  The same way you 
can gzip and then gunzip a file and get the *exact* same data.
