What's better "Mastered for iTunes" or Apple Lossless?

theoretically, what's better: if "mastered itunes" files buy on itunes 24bit/96khz lossy versus apple lossless (from cd) that's 16bit/44khz , lossless? apple lossless (alac) sound cd. "mastered itunes" has better bit depth of 24 bit , better sample rate of 96khz cd, "mastered itunes" lossy.

ideally, best 24/96 , lossless, believe same studio digital master, correct?

btw, if apple offer in future 24/96 lossless, that, called apple lossless (alac)? or name format needed? can rip sacd that's 24bit/96khz alac format itunes?

thanks!

 

you're talking 2 entirely different things. mastering of song , file's bitrate 2 different subjects.
