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?

There is no such thing as a mini rca>coax. You will need either the usb connection or a mini toslink>toslink. Make sure that you buy a glass one if you go toslink. Plastic toslink cables suck.

You really ought to move up to 10.6 to try the rest of the players for Mac.

Thanks for all the info. I am downloading 'Hotel 'California' and 'Paper Airplane' in 24/92 from HDTracks.com as I write this; can't wait to hear how they sound off the Mac with the DacMagic...

I will look for a glass mini-rca to Toslink on Amazon.

Thanks

Oops, sorry; you are correct, there is no such things as a mini-rca... I meant, a mini-stereo to Toslink cable... :)
