So if one wants to be really pedantic, and rip using EAC but compress with ALAC, how would you about it? Ripping with EAC is easy enough; but which tool or encoder could you use with EAC to encode the files to ALAC (which can then be used with iTunes, be it Mac or PC)?
EDIT: just to add another question - that Benchmark article says that the iTunes volume control is of extremely high quality, and users should have no hesitation making use of it. If that is the case, why is it always recommended to NEVER touch the volume control (set it to 100% permanently) because any change to that makes the audio not bit-perfect?
