Core Audio Format's known limitation — Apple-exclusive with very limited cross-platform support — is resolved when converting to FLAC Audio, which offers bit-perfect lossless compression reducing file size 40-60% without any quality loss. The Core Audio Format source uses lossless encoding. The FLAC Audio output uses lossless encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient. Xonvert's conversion engine analyzes your Core Audio Format source and selects the optimal encoding strategy for FLAC Audio output. Developed for Core Audio framework on macOS and iOS Supports up to 32-bit per sample and 655,350 Hz sample rate These implementation details are handled automatically by the converter.

Audio conversion from Core Audio Format to FLAC Audio focuses on preserving sonic fidelity while adapting to the target format's characteristics. Both formats are lossless, guaranteeing a bit-perfect audio transfer with no quality change whatsoever. Sample rate, bit depth, and channel layout are preserved when supported by the target format.

The CAF to FLAC conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Can contain PCM, AAC, ALAC, MP3, and custom codecs
