can someone explain, scientifically, what makes this audio " enhanced"
[ audible site is useless. its says new format is minimally compressed, old is slightly compressed - or vice versa - so they changed one adjective - pretty meaningless ]

enhanced often means digitally manipulated in various (bad from an audiophile perspective ) ways e.g. boost bass, add reverb effects, add spacializers or "crystal sound"

i don't get why /how a recording of someone reading out loud needs "enhancement"

or is it really just enhanced DRM buried within marketing hype.

surely, to actually "enhance" you just record using the same format at a higher bit rate
e.g. best mp3 is 320kbs, typical audiobook mp3 is 64 or less kbs
