FLAC Decompression

d3crypti0n · 19th August 2020, 23:04

Hello Everybody,

I have a few FLACs which I want to losslessy decompress to WAV files. Therefore I was recommended to use dbPoweramp.
I tried the tool once and so far it is pretty convenient to use but there are two things I’ve noticed.

First during the converting process, the tool says a re-encode takes place. As I understood, re-encoding a lossless codec (like flac and wav) the quality will remain the same, is this correct?
Also, is dbPoweramp a good choice for my desired task ?

Second, every wav file i checked has had the same Bitrate (2117 Kb/s) and of course the same bit depth of 24 Bit. I just want to be sure if this is normal.

Thank you
