As i stated earlier, once the bits are captured onto HD they are safe and not very likely to change...or at least if they do change - and it can happen - we will know about it because checksums will fail and the computer will report a disk read error or a file integrity check will report a checksum failure. This is a completely different issue to "did I get the right bits in the first place?" I run a replaygain batch job every week across all of disks. This has the side effect of checking all of the FLACs for integrity. I have had 3 file errors reported across 30,000 FLAC files in 4 years... CODECS are an irrelevance here - lossless is lossless!!!!!!
