Download .max file and how to get it into blender.

I found some nice 3D free models on some websites. Most are in formats I can import either with Blender or with Assimp and then convert. Yet there are some nice .max files but I don’t have the money to spend on a program. Is there a free program that will import a .max and then let me export it into another format that I can then import into blender? Would Daz Studio work and keep the rig and such? Or is there another program?
