Best software to convert FLAC to Apple lossless?

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.

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.

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...

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

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