Ogg is a lossy formar, Wav is not. They are not compatible.
The question should be "Flac or Wav?" And the answer is Flac, unless you need some kind of old compatibility.
what does lossy mean and why flac
Lossy means that data is lost on encoding, so the original quality of the recording will be compromised in some fashion.
FLAC is superior to WAV because it's still lossless but compressed so the files take up less space.
