While the album was officially sold as a physical CD, audiophiles often rip these discs into FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) to preserve the original 16-bit/44.1kHz "Redbook" CD quality. Should You Still Hunt It Down

• Bit-perfect preservation: FLAC compresses the CD’s original 16-bit/44.1kHz PCM audio without losing any data. Unlike MP3 (which discards “imperceptible” frequencies), FLAC preserves the dynamic range—Adele’s whisper-to-roar transitions remain intact.
• Mastering differences: Early comparisons on audiophile forums (Steve Hoffman Music Forums, Hydrogenaudio) noted that the Target Deluxe CD was pressed from a slightly different master than the standard European or streaming versions. The bonus tracks, in particular, have a wider stereo image and less brick-wall limiting, making them ideal for FLAC ripping.
• Longevity: A proper FLAC rip from a pristine 2015 Target CD can be transcoded to any format (MP3, AAC, ALAC) without generational loss, while a lossy file cannot be upgraded.

Should You Still Hunt It Down? If you own the standard CD or stream 25 on Tidal/Qobuz, you’re getting 80% of the experience. But that extra 20%—the air around Adele’s voice on “Lay Me Down,” the hidden piano decay in “Can’t Let Go”—is only preserved in this specific 2015 Target FLAC. For fans, it’s not snobbery; it’s preservation.
