My plan is to rip my CD collection to Flac, these Flac copies becoming effectively a master copy which I understand will be of the same quality as the original CD. I then plan to convert from the Flac copy to any other format as required.

My question is, if I produce an ogg file from a flac file, will the ogg file be "as good" as if I had produced it directly from the CD (or indeed a wav copy of the CD)?

Apologies; this may be posted in the wrong place but it is to do with my evaluation of the ripping software and whether my plans for it (and the conversion software) make sense.

Thanks,
Dave
