FLAC, WAV or AIFF question


I run audirvana plus on a Mac laptop in iTunes integrated mode. I have always downloaded AIFF hi Rez files. Another hi Rez site offers WAV and FLAC both in 24/96 resolution. Should I download the FLAC file since it takes up less room than the WAV file? Will my Mac recognize it even though I use audirvana for playback?

Apple prejudices aside, I believe that AIFF gives equally good quality to WAV but with the huge advantage of including metadata.

Having ripped around a 1000 of my own CDs in AIFF, you don’t even want to think of the mess that WAV can create in term of organizing your collection.
