Re: Upconverting AAC files
Now, to introduce something that will REALLY confuse & befuddle you! 
VBR, (Variable Bit Rate). 
Something I use lately, exclusively.
"LAME" encoder.
It uses an algorithm that assigns bit-rate to frequencies that the human ear is less apt to hear, @ a lower bitrate, and then, instantly assigns bit-rates to those frequencies that are more pronounced, a higher bit-rate.
This results in a file that's normally lower file size, yet retains the areas where sound quality is most likely required for even those folks that can REALLY hear the difference! 
My son says he can hear the difference between a virgin "WAVE" rip, and a 128 bit rip.
I can't, but my ears are twenty years older than his!
Also, you should be using a player, that can accurately re-produce the AAC, MP3 or WAVE.
I use WinAmp. Mostly 'cause I can play ANYTHING with it. WMP sometimes is persnickitty 'bout what it will "allow" you to play.
