I am not sure if the ALAC-file-(displaying?)-problem is connected to the conversion of files to ALAC. The file I had problems with was downloaded from Highresaudio.com as an ALAC-file and was displayed on my AK100 as 16/96. Under Audirvana plus the same ALAC-file was displayed as 24/96 and after conversion to FLAC (with XLD) the AK100 also displayed it as 24/96, the format guaranteed by HRA. Thus, it may be just a displaying problem with the Iriver-FW showing a bit-depth of 16bit of ALAC-files which actually have a bit-depth of 24bit. Perhaps Iriver can look after the problem.
I had someone send me a 24 bit ALAC file that plays as 24 bit on my AK.
Let me know if you would like me to send you the file.
I was converting from FLAC to ALAC with MAX and I think this had something to do with the problem.
I think something happens when converting to ALAC that makes it show up as 16 bit on the AK.
I have just been using FLAC now and I don't have any problems. I keep ALACs separately for iTunes.
BTW, does anyone know how to split a FLAC file on a mac with a cue sheet without converting it? The only programs I know that can split FLACs require you to also convert them....
