I’m even confused sometimes when I look at a wav file, for example one the other day that looked so very similar to one of mine, didn’t seem to be heavily compressed, yet to my ears appeared to be much louder.

In the end, I think for me at least, providing the best quality audio I can means not just having decent gear, but also being able to set it up so that as an actor, I no longer need to concern myself with also being the engineer. As such, I have no meters, dials or anything to tweak once I’m in that booth. I try to make the experience as much as possible match that of when I get to go to a pro studio.

Having gear you can trust certainly goes a long way towards making that happen. I’m sure no matter what you ultimately decide to go with, your clients will love what you give them.
