In psychoacoustics, transparency is the ideal result of lossy data compression. If a lossily compressed result is perceptually indistinguishible from the uncompressed input, then the result can be declared to be transparent. In other words, transparency is the situation where artifacts are nonexistant or imperceptible.

Transparency, like sound quality, is subjective.
