Apple lossless, wave, FLAC, it's all the same. If you ripped without loss, then you have digital versions of your CDs, and the playback will be similar.
DACs on MACs have always been pretty tolerable.
Or maybe you got your preconception out of the way and just listened to the music without assuming it would be bad (like some comments above). Digital tone controls don't add noise or distortion, so that could be at play, or maybe you have an ambience setting on that you really like ?

"Maybe this is because the tone is adjustable on the playback on computer? Or maybe the DAC on the Mc is really good? Sounds much better than SACDs even."
