AIFF and WAV are uncompressed. Large file size and sound superior. FLAC although lossless but is compressed. The compression seem to have some impact on the sound quality.

Yes, good suggestion by econav. to make thing easy, can simply use device like Bluesound VAULT 2i, it will rip the disc into bit perfect format and store in the internal 2T HDD or you can backup it to external drive. As simple as just insert the disc, the device will take care of all things within 10min. Do not need to involve computer. Can optical out and use Marantz Na11s1 as Dac. VAULT 2i is also a streamer, feature-rich and easy to use. You can use handphone or computer on the same WiFi network to control with apps like Spotify, Tidal etc.
