RE: Compressed/Decompressed Signal Should Be Numerically Identical to the Original..................

Any jitter on the original analog to digital conversion was encoded into the sequence of digits in the original file. These digits would have been different if the jitter on the A/D clock had been different.

This distortion on the original recording will be forever preserved by any sequence of file copies, however performed. If one of these copies is played back with equipment that has its own jitter problems then the playback jitter will be superimposed on the recording jitter, and there is little chance that this will do anything but make matters worse.
