      I recommend ripping to a lossless format, not so much because you will hear a difference but because from that format you can convert to any other format you may need without adding an extra layer of conversion to the process.

      I have my master copy on a external drive, a working copy on my computer drive and the copy that Sonos uses hooked to a Raspberry Pi (tiny cheap computer) as WD quit supporting the expensive NAS I bought from them after a few years.
