Matt, yes I understand DSD levels and that many SACDs are hot (6 db so in some cases). My large DSD rip library has some that cause some DACs issues, so I tend to be aware of that level. I am fine with DSD being safe and slightly lower in gain, no big deal. And I also now understand it doesn't matter to the theoretical nth degree of quality whether the PCM source is flac or wav, thanks.
Follow up issue just noticed, so might as well post it here:
A few times (not all the time), when converting files, the message in the conversion/action window hangs at "processing x of x files" when the detail screen shows "conversion complete". I realize some housekeeping may be going on, but this message, in the screencap attachment example, has been there for 30 min+.. I checked the beta changelog through 80 and it's not addressed. This example is on build 67.
