So from what I could tell I believe that the reason the volume was being
adjusted on the CD's that were burned to .wav format via i-Tunes was
because of the Volume Control lever that is shown at the top of the
i-Tunes window. Even though the Preferences were set to not do any
volume leveling.

I would typically keep the Volume setting within the i-Tunes window at
about half way so my guess is that this was the reason I was seeing the
Adjustment within the Squeezebox server.

As far as the bit-rate being lowered I will blame this on i-Tunes also
as I believe it only burns with a Constant (ie..Hard Coded) Bit Rate
but I could be mistaken about that.

I guess the moral of the story is to avoid i-Tunes like the plague when
it comes to ripping your CD Collection. I recently switches over to
DB-Power Amp for CD Ripping which seems much more accurate combined
with it's Accurate Rip feature and no volume controls to worry about.

i-Tunes is the Devil......
