confused on audio file formats

I have a Mac running iTunes and am looking into a music server. I hear all sorts of options for file formats to store my music in ... AIFF, Apple Lossless, 24bit/192, etc

I want high fidelity music.
Can someone explain the differences?

Thx,
Rob

On a Mac I recommend Amarra 1.2 with iTunes playing AIFF file format. No reason to use lossless compression. Disk is cheap.

Also, dont use iTunes to rip CD's. Use XLD with Accurate-Rip enabled:

I dont sell any of these BTW.
