1. You use ISO2DSD in network mode to rip the disc to an ISO file.
2. You use ISO2DSD in file mode to convert it to DSF or DFF.

As I like what I hear from FLAC files, I'd like to stick with that file type.
Converting DSD to FLAC is a (mildly) lossy process and, generally, I advice against it.

If you can play DSD (as DSF or DFF), there is only one reason to convert your rips to FLAC/PCM and that is to allow for DSP including roomEQ.

When I need to convert it, for that purpose, I rely on Jriver or Roon to do the conversion in real-time rather than use an app to create additional files.
