I've been using Apple lossless for some time now and am very satisfied with it. It does do bit for bit reconstruction. This seems to be confirmed by my DAC--when it receives tracks that are from HDCD CDs, the indicator lights up, which to me is pretty strong evidence.
Apple Lossless Encoder - Audiophile Quality?
Is Apple Lossless Encoder the best format to use to import music into iTunes?
My goal is to get the highest quality music regardless of cost.
I want to get the best that I can get of a CD so that I won't have to re-import my music from the same CDs in 5-years.
I am using a Mac based system, but I don't think that should make any difference.
