You're probably better off converting FLAC to Apple Lossless (ALAC) for playback on an iDevice.

The best app is KaiserTone. Look it up in the app store.  It will play all your hires music. I've been using it for a year right now and am very satisfyd.

Occasionally I will send a FLAC to my brother and I'd rather buy him an app than convert. If I were to convert, a bit better choice for me is AIFF since it retains metadata across all sources. So back to the question at hand...
