How to convert FLAC to WAV ?


I have all my CDs ripped onto an iMac using XLD. I am having trouble figuring out how to convert the files from FLAC to WAV. Can somebody give me a quick tutorial on how to do this ? Thanks

Steve, Will a FLAC file converted to WAV be indistinguishable from a CD ripped directly to WAV. ?? ...Matt
I am curious to see for myself if there is an audible difference, following Steve Nugent's recommendation.
Question about "interfaces": My digital front end is an iMac >>>Logitech Squeezebox Touch>>>Metrum Octave DAC. The iMac is connected to the SBT via a wireless network. Is this a USB interface ? The SBT is connected to the DAC with a digital cable, nothing special, just one leg of a composite video cable with RCA connectors. Would this set-up benefit from WAV vs FLAC ? Are FLAC files converted to WAV files "as good as" WAV files ripped directly from CD ?
Thanks, Steve. I meant "component" video cable, not "composite" video cable.
My system is an Audio Research sp3c preamp, ARC VT100 MkII power amp, and Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers. I think it is a fairly resolving system.
