I am attempting to rip CDs in FLAC with no compression. I want the best possible sound and don't care about file size - when I play them back they are playing in the 600 to 800 kbps range. shouldn't they be playing at 1400 kbps? should I be doing something differently?

That's normal.

Lossless compression stores the same bits more efficiently. It's like how a ZIP file is smaller than the original, but still the same as the original.
