I'm not sold on the idea of a lossy format, I still prefer reel-reel if everything is properly maintained and recorded.
Reel-to-reel is a lossy format. Just do 5 generations and you'll clearly hear it as well.
Compare what goes in and comes out and you'll be horrified of the differences. Those differences are losses. That doesn't mean the format cannot sound pleasant.
