Hello,

I want to convert my ITunes buyed music (mp4, m4a) to flac to integrate on my Vault2.

Conversion application is Freemake Audio Converter. Following conversion presets are available:

- flac 16 bit original, optimal quality

- flac 16 bit original, high quality 48000 Hz

- flac 16 bit stereo 44100 Hz

After conversion, I have to move to correct directory, right?

Other things needs to be done? Covers? Reindexing?

 

Thanks for help

  Hi Jesse

  In all honesty...

  Don't - you gain nothing by upsampling and all that work will not improve audio quality. Just like you gain nothing by blowing up a digital picture beyond its RAW format - just pixelation or a DVD picture will never be in 4K.

  If you truly want sonic performance improvement - you will have to go the true but very expensive route of repurchasing CD or Hi-Res versions of the music...

  ...or consider a Music Subscription with TIDAL or AmazonUHD depending on your region for MQA or 24-bit Hi-Res Music...

  Either way, your VAULT will stay play MP3 and M4A files natively...
