In response to:

every generation of copy made from the original you loose some information (this is a known fact).

>> This is true for analog transfers where the noise is cumulative. Examples would be copying audio cassettes or VHS tapes. This is not
a fact for digital copying by any means. In fact, the copy can retain all of the original information and even have better timing (less jitter) than the original.

Unless you have the original master tape to begin with, your copy will never sound as good as the original.

>> Again this is only for analog material. Digital communication very often (as in the case of CD for example) provides error correction to ensure that all of the data is communicated from source to sink error-free. For CDs, Reed-Solomon error correction is used.
