AIFF is not Apple Lossless...........

Posted by Sordidman on November 4, 2005 at 13:56:43:
as far as I understand it.
We are Importing Apple Lossless to a large File Server in our basement and then playing ITunes on several IBooks and MAC Minis located around our building via Airport Extreme(s).
We have USB to Digital converter cables and boxes that allow us to use digital inputs on DACs and Universal players.
This works quite well and has incredible quality.
Is it better than FLAC? That I cannot tell you.... But it is my understanding that it is better than MP3 as MP4 files are created by Apple Lossless...
Cheers,
