I had everything converted to AIFF now I convert everything to WAV
I hear a big difference

FLAC is free, open-source format and can be played on many players such as car or home stereo, it is yet to be supported by Apple Mac computer and Apple portable devices. To enjoy incredible quality FLAC audio on Mac and any Apple devices, we need to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless.

Hi, just 24/96, dCS U-Clock/Puccinii isn't 24/192 (yet)...i think a update maybe on the way soon...

Jfrech are you using the Amarra Amarra SW full 24/192 out of your laptop and what dac are you using right now?

I see you're using pure music..I use Amarra. It has a flac conversion feature that
places it into itunes (aiff). Given the competition, maybe you should suggest this
feature to pure music?

Amarra also let's me play flac natively via their on playlist. Finally, it leaves the
orginal FLAC file intact, in case i want it for something else...

I use XKLD after not being able to figure out MAX. Has anyone tried them both and noticed a sonic difference? I'm thinking of getting Pure Music soon, which I've heard will be a big improvement over iTunes.

smoffatt - the reason i use apple lossless and itunes is because i use pure music. i only use itunes as the database and the presentation layer, pure music actually reads the music. you would need need to compare the itunes interface using pure music or amarra ripping with max or xld vs. some other interface (songbird) with flac to see if there was any improvement in sound and functionality.

If you are going the MAC route, why do you want to convert to AIFF or Apple Lossless. Use Songbird instead so that you can play your Flac files with your MAC. No need to convert. I use to convert them with MAX so i can play them with Itunes but now i use Songbird instead.
Have fun.

What is the website for MAX?

I use MAX as well, with "Full Paranoia" on-always (CD Paranoia error correction). I agree though; it is not the most intuitive interface.

I find XLD simpler than Max.
