um...no it's not. If I have an audio track at 320kbits...it will be burned at that rate, or rather at that quality. When it's ripped again, you can rip it FLAC and keep every bit of it. Now you end up with a larger file, but you haven't lost any quality.
Even aside from that, there are tools galore on the web to strip the song without re-encoding it.
