Do you mean that Transcoding between lossy codecs is bad, or Transocoding between any codec is bad.

Lossy codecs. I assumed the source was an .ogg, .mp3, .wma or something.

Hmmm. It might be better, but I still doubt that "lossless" marketing tag. If all the information of a raw .wav file is still there, then how is the file size smaller? Magic? The info is either there or it isn't.
IMHO when you're talking about digital audio, nothing sounds better than a real CD. (OK, that SACD/DVD audio is better, but that's total overkill!)
