Sat, the bottom line is that as far as formats go, and as recent tests have confirmed, the 16 bit 44.1KHz sampling rate standard CD meets or exceeds any requirements for frequency response of human ears and dynamic range possible for the source material involved. Of course the CD format is uncompressed per se and lossless compression should be equally good, as far as is known. Variations in the original recording process and later processing steps can make differences audible with any format, of course.
