Thanks for kindly checking out the effects of those settings. I appreciate you characterizing my question as a good one. I wasn't sure. After reading your last post, I converted a batch of 12 mp3 files to m4a with Apply ReplayGain unchecked and the following preset selected: AAC - 320kbps - Stereo -...
