flac

With FFMPEG how do i encode a lossless codec (ATM i am testing with another flac) to a flac file with the highest compression level.

With MediaMonkey i was able to compress to level 8 and i recompressed with ffmpeg and it matched the output of a level 6 compress. Even with -aq 8. How do i set it to the highest compression?
