The AAC is standard Apple Audio quality that always compresses the file and makes it comfortable and small in size, which results in quality loss. Whereas, Uncompressed doesn’t change anything and delivers the same audio quality. Typically, uncompressed files will occupy ample storage compared to AAC-formatted files.

Most of the users opt to use AAC format, which saves a considerable amount of space for them, and yes, it gives Apple Music level quality which is good if they don’t want the original quality of Voice Memos. For more natural and professional purposes, uncompressed is preferable.
