I said this previously, and just decided that maybe using iTunes was not the best as I too hear a difference between WAV and Lossless.

Ripping on MacBook Pro and then playing via an Airport or AppleTV I prefer the AIFF to Lossless, there is a definite smoothness to the AIFF.

I guess I should try another ripper??

What do people suggest for a Mac? What does Sooloos use?

No Darling, I've had it months!
