FLAC to AIFF

Quick questions, folks !

Using XLD to convert FLAC to AIFF, will I "lose" anything or is it 1:1 converting ?

Cheers

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

FLAC is already a compressed format: AIFF isn't. There's always a tiny overhead when converting because of inevitable miniscule errors in the resampling, but these are likely to be insignificant and AIFF won't lose anything for you.

The AIFF will be the same quality, it will just be roughly twice the size of the FLAC file.
