Hello,
i would like to ask two technical question:
1. If im converting flac to wav, or wav to flac, is there any danger, that there can be some degradation during this process or is it like ziping and unziping file?
2. Is there any danger of degradation when i convert 24/96-192 to 24/48 using foobar, except of course loosing data over 48khz?
 
I ask, because my player supports 24/44flac or 24/48wav and i dont care about id3tags or size, so 24/48 wav is way to go for me, but my music collection is in 24/88-96 flac.

1. It is like zipping or unzipping, so no data lost.
2. Resampling can cause degradation. If it didn't, you wouldn't see different resamplers, such as people using SoX in Foobar instead of the standard PPHS. Here is an example of resampler testing: http://www.aimp.ru/blogs/?p=312 Of course, as that example shows, the degradation by resampling really isn't audible, if you are using any decent resampler.
