I don't really trust sites that sell lossless either. I usually only get lossless digital albums if there are no physical releases. I do often buy albums from Bandcamp, but even there you might find the occasional transcodes.
I suppose I'll just go with the 320kbps ACC from mora.jp over the 256kbps ACC files on iTunes. The files might be slightly larger, but space isn't really an issue for me so I don't see any reason not to go with the one that has a higher bitrate, even if there isn't any notable difference.
Just so long as the ones on mora.jp aren't actually 256kbps masquerading as 320kbps or something weird like that. I've heard of digital lossless albums that were actually lossy, but I don't think I've ever heard of anywhere selling lossy files that were actually a lower bitrate than what was advertised so I don't think I need to worry about that.
