Well, that's a complex question. A cd's max bitrate is higher than standard FLAC, but there are higher quality FLAC formats that can be higher than CD's. My own feelings about human ears aside, even the best regular hi-fi amps are only good to ~100kHz, while both FLAC and CD's nearly double that bandwidth, so the odds you can tell the difference on an average track is probably slim. It is possible, that one source might be a different mix on the same song though. That is as likely as anything else.
Also, I've heard tell of both formats being delivered under their promised resolution, or even upscaled from a lower resolution format, which outputs poop recordings.
