Help with Playing FLAC files

Okay, got my DAcMagic going no problem; works and sounds great. Took about two minutes to comnect it to my Macbook Pro. (Gotto love Apple!)

Went to HD Tracks.com and downloaded some hi-res music, but these are FLAC and iTunes doesn't like them. What's the best software to convert these so that iTunes will let me play them?

I use MAX to rip CDs into ALAC (using cdparanoia with "never allow skipping" option). It also converts any format to any format.

XLD does an excellent job converting flacs.

You can also use Audirvana which plays FLAC directly without conversion and it sounds much better than iTunes.

Agree with Sidssp - Audirvana plays FLAC, sounds great and it's free.
