It seems that SoundApp is pretty much the only application that will conver .m1a into an .aiff file, but I've noticed that the quality of the sound is terrible. Compared to the original it is intolerably quiet.

Soo........ who here knows how to turn .m1a files into a file that QuickTime enjoys allowing to copied, etc.?

All the techniques work, but there is still some volume reduction regardless of technique which is my main problem......... It's very very slight loss of volume, but I'd still rather not have it.

why can't you normalize the audio afterwards in an editing app?

Actually, that's what I ended up doing. I upped the volume in QT 5, and that's worked. I just hadn't thought of that right away.
