Converting 32/192 WavPack to 24/48 FLAC

[Bay Jingles]

My phone does not support the WavPack format. I will convert it to FLAC format. But while doing this I will reduce it from 32/192 to 24/48. Will there be any deterioration in sound quality?

Why not do a few conversions and A-B it? Might not be audibly perceptible.

Both are audibly transparent, so the only chance for messing up the sound is incorrect settings in the transcoding. If you do it and it sounds good, you're OK to go.

There wouldn't be a deterioration in sound quality even if you converted to 16/44.1 (assuming the conversion is done properly). If you find that difficult to believe it is because digital audio isn't as intuitive as people think it is. It takes learning some quite difficult mathematical concepts to fully realise why going above 16/44.1 or 16/48 resolution in consumer audio is overkill.
