CDs: FLAC v ALAC (v Digital Download)


I ripped most of my CDs years ago to iTunes in ALAC format. Considering redoing my favourites.

Is FLAC better to rip CDs to than ALAC?

Better to download at 16/44.1 from the likes of Qobuz rather than CDs?

What is your goal? A CD rip to FLAC or ALAC would be equivalent (both bit perfect). You can convert files between FLAC and ALAC format with no loss in quality.

Do you still have the CDs? From Qobuz you would have to purchase the download files.
