So do AIFF's sound better than Flac's?
I use Korg Audio Gate to burn DSD Discs for my Sony 5400.
I bought Africa Brass from HD Tracks, in 24 bit Flac. It didn't sound anywher near as good as the Vinyl reissue. I wonder if converting it to AIFF would make any difference.

No - not at all. It's just that I mostly use iTunes for my playback and iTunes won't play FLAC's.

  Thanks! Does ITunes play back HI Rez files? Sorry for the novice questions!

    Yes indeed, it does - at least up to 24/192, as long as the track is two-channel. However, iTunes will not play back multi-channel. (Or if it will, I haven't figured out a way to make it do so.) So for my two 24/96 multi-channel Chandos downloads, I use VLC media player for playback.
