David,
I have to take issue with your sentence on several grounds. The loss
of fidelity is a function of the encoding method. If you have a
sampling rate that exceeds the human ability to discriminate
differences, then you will not be able to tell the difference between
analog and digital recordings.
I'm not an expert on audiology technology but I believe flac is called
lossless because its encoding properties fit the above requirement.
MP3 is not lossless but if you record at 256 kbytes/sec instead of the
standard 128, then you do exceed the perceptual limitations.
Of course, the size of the file grows commensurately.
