Haven't really compared FLAC or ALAC to AIFF or WAV but it makes sense to me that uncompressed would be theoretically capable of higher fidelity - no need for the CPU or software to convert on the fly. Storage space is extremely cheap, especially compared to overall hifi costs - so my attitude is why bother with compression at all.
Up conversion, however, makes no sense to me whatsoever. IMO, anything which alters the original signal is distortion.
