I bought and downloaded a flac album from hdtracks.com, selecting the highest quality 24/192 encoding, only to find out it doesn't play on my gear. How to convert to a flac lower bitrate like 24/96 or even 16/44.1. Thanks for your advice.

Convert FLAC to FLAC and use the DSP effects 'resample' and 'bit depth'

Thanks, Spoon,
Works perfect with downconvert to 16/44.1, so there should be no problems with other converts.
Much appreciated.
I got a similar problem. Apparently my control4 system can't handle some of the flac files I have, although they play perfectly well on my PC. Just checked - one of the files has sample rate 44.1 kHz, sample size 16 bit, bit rate 1411 kbps. I suspec the latter is the problem, but how do I get a lower bit rate?
Doh. Never mind. The bit rate of 1411 kbps will of course remain the same unless I change the sample rate and/or sample size. I was able to get to around 700 kbps bit rate by selecting 22 kHz sample rate. Just not sure I want to do that to my music collection; streaming the music to my Oppo works just fine with the unaltered files, so I'll look into using my Oppo. Probably better quality, anyway.
1411kbps is right for cd audio
