I'm kind of new to Android and so far the biggest pain-point has been pretty much anything to do with audio playback... I'm an iOS convert so almost all of my music is ALAC, including several albums I have that are 24/96.

I tried PowerAmp (seemed to be the most recommended audio app out there) but it played my 24/96 ALAC files at 1/3 the speed. Apparently there's a bug with how 24/96 files present themselves on Android? Has anyone come across this bug and is there a solution? This bug doesn't present itself in every player (Neutron), but some just refuse to play any sound at all (Google Music)! Any suggestions?

I still have other iOS devices so I can't just drop iTunes or convert all my ALAC files to something else.

OnePlus One, Cyanogen based on Android 4.4.

Have you tried DoubleTwist? It is supposedly geared towards using iTunes with Android and basically enabling this transition.
 
I am in the same camp, installed it today, haven't done much testing yet. Also, I don't have any ALAC.

I tried it, it didn't even see almost any of my music. I have about 1,500 songs I wanted to sync. I saw 200 scattered amongst a few of my playlists.

If you have the same problem try iSyncR, it works great.
