Plus dBpoweramp has a great user forum if you ever need any help with
great support from the development team. Plus dBPoweramp runs on MacOS
and Windows.
I think it's worth the very low cost.

I have and use both. Both are good. XLD iis not always as good at tag
preservation as dbpoweramp is, especially during format conversions.
With XLD, I find myself having to use Kid3 more often to clean up tags.
Thats why I recommend dbpoweramp first. As always, you get what you
pay for.
OP could try XLD (X Lossless Decoder) for Mac - its free and has all
the transcoding options one may need.

No need to buy dbpoweramp

If you buy from HDTracks, it is worth the money to buy DBPoweramp.
Everytime my Transporter chokes on a 24-bit stream, it is one from
HDTracks. Incompatible FLAC format and/or compression rate. Re-encode
it through DBPoweramp and problem solved.
It will also downsample a 192 khz purchase down

Umm.. where are *you* running this command? In a terminal window? In a
program? Just need some context here.

I will never use ALAC for anything. FLAC is the lossless standard and
hopefully here to stay even when misused as container for MQAs DRM ;)
Maybe you can check your FLAC

flac -a Song.flac spits out an output.ana file in the same folder you

Thanks guys. I ended up asking HDTracks for an ALAC 24/96 version
instead. That plays just fine! Is there any easy way to determine the
block size, or encode level?

The Transporter can decode 24/96 only if the blocksize is 4608 or
smaller. With 4096 i
Transporter can have issues with some 24/96 flac with high compression
ratio .
Try to transcode it to flac with -5 compression ratio ( yes you can
losslesly transcode flac to flac ) .

Hi all,
I have several 24/96 titles that I play without problem on my
Transporter. A few days ago, I bought the new Tom Petty "An American
Treasure" 24/96 FLAC files from HDTracks.com
Neither the analog nor the digital outs of the Transporter output any
sound :( I have confirmed the files play
