Conversion Quality Deep Dive
A/B testing confirms that Xonvert's DTS Audio to Apple Lossless output is indistinguishable from reference-quality conversions produced by leading desktop software. The WebAssembly engine uses identical codec libraries. DTS Core: up to 1,509 kbps for 5.1 surround Open-source since 2011, but adoption still mainly Apple These technical characteristics influence how quality is preserved during conversion. For audio-to-audio conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both DTS Audio and Apple Lossless. Converting within the same category means most properties transfer naturally.
