You do not need to convert them to listen on your Mac, if you use a player that can handle FLAC, such as VLC Media Player. However, if you want to use them in iTunes (which is one of the very few players that cannot handle FLAC), then you can convert them using a program such as Max. You can also get a 3rd party plug-in (Xiph) that allows iTunes to play FLAC, but results are mixed, and you.

Sound quality issues
Sound quality of an ISO to FLAC conversion software depend on implementation. Sound quality here is distortion and noise level, that cause the converter.
AuI ConverteR software is designed for music production and audiophiles. Therefore, low distortion level is primary goal of the software development.
AuI ConverteR vs a converter software: DSD64 to PCM 44.1 kHz aliases
In ideal case, should not be repeatable lines with lower brightness. These lines show audible distortions, that correlate with original signal.
Sound quality of the all AuI ConverteR's editions is same. There used fully identical digital signal processing. Only functional restrictions.
What is available in DEMO version?
DEMO version has sound processing quality fully identical the commercial editions.
In middle of the extracted track, 2 second are muted.

Sound quality issues
If you convert without resampling you are have 2 options:
- sound optimization;
- bit-perfect (without any altering of audio content resolution and processing).
To turn on bit-perfect mode, in AuI ConverteR's Settings > General tab > check 'Don't make DSP...' switch.
At main window > Output panel > set bit depth and sampling rate 'as input'.
At main window > Output panel > set bit depth and sampling rate 'as input'.
Sound optimization may be useful for some records and some hardware. It cut ultrasound upper 20 kHz to prevent audible products (may be listened as noise) of intermodulation distortions, generated by ultrasound. Sound optimization is activated by default.
Watch video: Experiment with cutting of ultrasound
Bit-perfect conversion re-pack FLAC to ALAC without altering audio content.
If you convert with resampling you are have 2 options:
- sound optimization;
- without the optimization.
Non-optimized conversion is the same to traditional resampling: target audio band is limited by minimal sample rate between input and output.

What is the best flac to alac converter
If FLAC ALAC converter makes bit perfect repacking, it is not matter for sound quality, that converter you use. But file resampling and other processings may to do sound difference. You can check several converters to found the best one.
Command line utility ffmpeg can convert FLAC to ALAC files:
Avi Converter Mac
ffmpeg -y -i inputfile.flac -c:a alac outputfile.m4a
-y - mean 'overwrite m4a (alac) file'
