Yeah depends on the file format you convet it to and the bitrate. A WAV will be exactly like it is on the CD, a 320 kbps MP3, MP4 or a WMA file should be very close to the CD (I don't hear much of a difference). A 192 is fairly close but not quite CD quality, there will be a slight difference. Anything lower and you will definitely hear the quality dip on the recording. Your best bet is to rip it as a WAV i'de say.
