If I convert hdtracks 24/96 from flac to aiff using xld on my macbook pro , will I lose any resolution if I am playing back through iTunes? I am new to computer hifi and just got an iNova which I love, but I am needing some good info on optimizing my system. Also, would it be better to be running pure music instead and just playing the flac file without converting? Thanks, Coleman
