Sound quality issues
Sound quality of an ISO to FLAC conversion software depends on implementation. The sound quality here is distortion and noise level, which the converter causes.
AuI ConverteR software is designed for music production and audiophiles. Therefore, a low distortion level is a primary goal of audio software development.
AuI ConverteR vs a converter software: DSD64 to PCM 44.1 kHz aliases
In the ideal case, should not be repeatable lines with lower brightness. These lines show audible distortions, that correlate with the original signal.
Sound quality of all AuI ConverteR's editions is the same. There used fully identical digital signal processing. Only functional restrictions.

Configurations of AuI ConverteR for SACD ISO to FLAC conversion
AuI ConverteR is a configurable software that lets you choose the features you need and pay only for them. A "module" is a part of AuI ConverteR's functionality that you can buy separately. You can buy new modules later to enhance your Modula-R major version (details). Each module is a license key that you get by email and enter in the software. A "major update" is a change in the first version number of the software version (for example, from 10.x to 11.x) and it is not free. However, your license is unlimited-time, which means you can use the software as long as you want without any subscription fees. (details)
IMPORTANT: The Free version of AuI ConverteR does not work with any modules. You need to buy a CORE module first, and then you can add other modules that are compatible with it (details). If you buy all the modules, you get the same features as the PROduce-RD version, which is a complete and cheaper package. You cannot exchange your Modula-R license for a PROduce-RD license.
