There's a loss of precision in the conversion process. Both the original
recordings show 25 bit precision and the file sizes are the same (3.8MB).

The converted file is only 16 bit and is 1.9MB. It sounds (and looks)
louder. I doubt I could tell any loss of quality. Not explaining it.
Just providing some facts. :)
