You can be sure that the audio samples will not be changed when compressed and expanded. The compression process assures this because of how it works. In addition, there is a double check: the original audio samples are checksummed prior to compression and this is used to verify the decoded samples. The issue, if there is one, will not be in the content of the audio samples in terms of the 0's and 1's that are represented in the file. It will have to be elsewhere, whether in the headers of the file, how the file is stored on disk, etc....
You have to keep in mind that there are people on this forum who believe that two WAV files that are identical also can sound different and that when this happens it is somehow the "fault" of the file and not the equipment used to playback the file. These are the same people who will tell you that "everything matters". Sure, like the color of insulation on the Ethernet cables connecting HDtracks.com's servers to their routers, somehow is going to affect the sound quality that their customers get...
