I have a doubt if any one help me it would be great

i download the same song with the file format flac and alac same bit rate and but kbps of alac is higher always compare to flac example alac has 4000kbps and flac has 2000kbps even though they have same 24bit rate and I use to hear in my echo mini dap with Sennheiser IE 200 in low gain with 75 volume but I feel alac is giving surroundings sound but flac doesn't give the surroundings compare to alac but the flac song is clean and smooth is that am i tripping or its actually makes difference because technically there shouldn't be any different any one suggestion or if it's gonna be controversial talk tell me welcome to the audiophile club so that I can understand
