Best DNG Converter for RAW Photo Editing: Which One Should I Use?

[tinytmp1 1]

Hey everyone!

I have been shooting in RAW format for a while now and recently started exploring DNG converters to streamline my editing workflow. I understand that converting RAW files to DNG offers benefits like smaller file sizes and better long term compatibility, but I am confused about which converter is the best option.

Should I stick with Adobe DNG Converter, or are there better third party alternatives available?

Also, does converting to DNG cause any loss in image quality or metadata?

Would love to hear from experienced photographers who have already gone through this process.
