There is an important difference to be aware of when doing this kind of
conversion, specifically when dealing with files that are greater than
4GB. AIFF/C can't handle these, a suitably set up CAF file can. So if
you're converting a large CAF file to AIFF/C with afconvert chances are
that you'll create an unreadable file if the result is larger than 4GB.
Same goes for WAVE.
Apple doesn't support WAVE64 or RF64 in their AudioFile API yet (as
far as I am aware) so you will have to roll your own (or use one of the
available libraries) to support large uncompressed files.

I need to change some .caf stereo 96/24 masters to .aiff ...
I have tried to simply change the suffix from .caf to .aiff and that seems
to work. The two files sound the
same on my hi-end monitoring system, but I still wonder if there is any
difference in the audio data at all
and if the .aiff will work like other .aiffs on different systems?
Anyone know definitively if one can just simple change the .caf suffix to
.aiff (in osx 10.7.4) and rest
assured the .aiff file will be exactly the same audio data and work just
like any other good .aiff should, or
do I need to re-master to .aiff?
Thanks!
Logic Studio, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
