But unlike lossy audio there are no psychoacoustic processing as part of the compression/encoding. Meaning that the audio data are compressed without loss.
Haha, to make it even more complicated: Depends on what "stage" you look at. If you look at the lossless compressed file that is stored on yoru harddrive then yes, but when it is decoded or gets decoded there is no difference in bits.
