FWIW, at a seminar at The Home Entertainment Show in NY last year, I believe John Atkinson, Stereophile's editor, said Apple lossless is the way to go.
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.
