Yeah, FLAC. EAC has numerous checks to make sure the rip was flawless. I then either listen from my computer on speakers attached to a stereo, or I stream via Plex/Jellyfin. I have wired and wireless headphones and earbuds I use depending on what I’m doing when listening.
I already had lots of CDs before streaming was a thing, but still (more often than I’d expect) I come across albums that aren’t on any streaming platform.
I used to use EAC but recently switched to fre:ac because it works on Linux. Maybe there’s some features from EAC that are missing, but this could be an alternative if you’re interested in exploring it. I also rip and store on Jellyfin, and I’ve not noticed any problems w/ my FLACs.

I own a lot of CDs.
Oh interesting! What do you use for that and what is the result? Flac or other?

Linux can rip FLACs, did you have any issues?
It’s the robust and verifiable logging I can’t give up. It’s an addiction.
