WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is the universally compatible uncompressed audio standard. Converting Monkey's Audio (APE) to WAV decodes the losslessly compressed audio into raw PCM — the most fundamental, editing-friendly, and tool-compatible audio representation possible. Every audio application ever created supports WAV.
WAV is the lingua franca of audio production. DAWs, mastering software, speech analysis tools, machine learning pipelines, and hardware samplers all accept WAV without question. Converting APE to WAV removes any codec dependency and gives you a format that works in literally every audio context. It is also the safest archival format — no decoder is ever needed, just a program that reads RIFF headers.
FFmpeg decodes the APE lossless audio to PCM (preserving the original bit depth and sample rate — typically 16-bit/44.1 kHz for CD rips) and writes it into a WAV (RIFF) container. The conversion is mathematically lossless. The WAV output contains the exact same PCM samples that the APE decoder produces.
Bit-identical to the APE source. Both formats decode to the same PCM audio. WAV is simply uncompressed PCM, so the quality ceiling is exactly what the APE source contains.
