How do I convert AIFF to WAV files on all my .....

That is what I claim after hours of listening today. No doubt about it in my rig and room. Wav has more body, weight, improved stage size, better foundation, smoother highs, less forced or hard highs. It is more refined sounding and puts you more at ease when listening.

I simply converted some aiff files to wav in iTunes and compared off my Mac mini SSD drive with Amarra playlist. Oh my, what a nice find.
I have done a couple and the art and order seem unchanged.....your way is a great way to do it all and thanks.
Another thing for Apple users. The music sounds the best when played directly from my SSD drive on my Mini vs. the outside storage device. Best sound quality on my Mini based system is WAV files of my SSD drive.

Perhaps Mac based systems reflect this WAV improvement more? Don't know as I have not tested different computers, wired vs wireless etc...I bet all these things influence this topic.

I have read enough industry reviews and owner postings to know that many hear exactly what I hear on Mac based systems.
Ghosthouse, I was not referring to your comment and I really do not know why some systems show a difference and some do not? Ya, give it a try, if no difference then that is good for you. Such a hassle to convert to WAV and I would rather not do it.
