You have to keep in mind Apple doesn't control the entire market. While I agree with some of your sentiment, the very reason you are having these problems are due to apples control. They may have made the source open now but that wasn't a very long time ago and they were even making money off of an otherwise free codec. Most other vendors who sell DAPs will not support apple format, that's just how it goes. FLAC has always been an open source code and the most widely used among most DAPs. Apple doesn't support it without modification because its all a part of their need to control you. Just another reason why I don't bother with their products anymore. Plus there is a lot out there that sounds a hell of a lot better.
Thanks.
For a product in this day, I personally do not think the user should have to go through any conversion.
