What is an easy way to convert wav files to Flac?

I know this topic has been covered, but was wondering if there is an updated, and easy to use process. I had an old Qsonix server, on which I stored most of my music as wav files, due to the improved playback quality. I transferred files to my NAS, before my Qsonix drive died.
I am now using Roon, and it has not recognized, or imported my wav files from NAS to new streamer/server...all the Flac files and DSD files came over fine.
I do not possess strong computer skills; can someone suggest a relatively straightforward process to allow me to access my Wav files on NAs, in import to Innuos server as Flac, for playback via Roon? Is it possible to restore meta data, to recognize artist and track name, or organize the various tracks of an album onto an album?
Thanks

Hi!

     I am a bit late to this discussion but I've been in a very similar spot to you.  As the previous poster stated, you can use dbpoweramp for the conversion and it will do a great job and then once you've converted them you'll have to add the metadata via MP3tag (name is missing leading, it does .flac) ... it's a bit tedious but super easy to do.  If you have any questions, let me know and I'll be happy to help you out.
     One question - what happened to the guts of your Qsonix?  I'm a Qsonix user myself and I am always on the hunt for extra units - working or not.  If you've still got it, I'd be very interested in chatting about what it'd take to remove the carcass from you.
      Let me know if you have any questions about converting!
