Flac to Ape question

Hi all.I have a question about convertion between flac-->ape.

xxx.flac --> FLAC Frontend --> xxx.wav ---> Monkey's ---> xxx.ape (cue files modified manually)

Do "xxx.flac" and "xxx.ape" file have same quality? Does this convertion make any loss?
Thanks.

There should be no loss of audio quality, but your tags will likely vanish.
If you convert in one operation then the front end program should move the tags over.

Sometimes I have trouble understanding what part of the word "lossless" is unclear for some people. Perhaps it's because large parts of the [digital] audio world is shrouded in such mysticism, that even simple and straightforward terms gain abstruse meanings in the minds of the inexperienced and the uncertain?

I think the unclear part is whether it is a marketing buzzword or a truth. A name is not a proof of its own justification.

And, by the way: If you transcode from losslessformat1 to losslessformat2, you actually need the latter to support the same wordlength, sampling frequency and # of channels. There is more to a format than just the ability to compress a given file.
