I have the FLAC on my ipod and pc. I will be using a pc via USB as flac/apple lossless server to my stereo. I just ripped a CD in both formats.

I doubt there is a difference as well, if none, apple is my choice. Apple rips fast and recovers all the song information. I don't want EAC's slow pace to appear to be a sign of superiority. If that was the case, winamp FLAC and EAC FLAC would sound different.
