Best Flac Converter

Posted by: christian u on 26 May 2013

I have recently bought 3 albums with Carmen Gomes inc. and Paul Berner Band,

from the Sound Liaison site.

The albums are 24/96 Waw files.

I want to convert them to Flac.

What,dear members,is in your opinion the best Flac converter?

I've used the PC only dBpoweramp to do all my CD ripping to NAS and some file conversion to Apple lossless. It comes with two file conversion utilities which will readily handle most format inter-conversions. IMO, it's well worth the small outlay & I'd recommend it highly.

I personally use XeRecode as it is extremely intuitive but why not download FLAC's own free decoder from soundforge. Just Google it.

Have a look at this

I would still go with XeRecode as it costs 10 Euro or $19 and it is set up so an idiot can use it.

I haven't compared many candidates, having landed on dBpoweramp early on and finding no reason to look further.

I do my conversions directly inside Foobar2000. Correct me please, if I have misunderstood something but I don't believe that there would be any difference in SQ depending of what software one uses for the conversion.

+1 dcPoweramp. Never had any problems and it stores all the metadata

I use EAC for all my ripping, does the job perfectly and its free.............
