Not to be difficult - but I disagree. I currently use reason 2.5 (and have used all the versions of Reason) and to my knowledge Reason does not dither/alias audio when exported either as an entire song or as an individual track. The only way the quality of the audio id degradated (dithered/aliased) is if when exporting you _select_ a lower bit rate than what your original samples are to begin with. I've read the Reason manual (almost entirely) from front to back, and there is nothing that indicates a degredation of signal when exporting. My ears tell me the same thing: no dithering or aliasing.
I suspect you monitors are fine. However I use Reason differently than most people... I run Reason 2.5 on a Mac G4 400, output each mixer from Reason to my Motu 828 analog output via firewire. The output of my 828 goes to a mixing board. A second computer (Mac G3) runs Cubase sending midi to the G4 running Reason as slave program. The purpose for doing this is because I have music hardware that has to be triggered/controlled by midi also. I simply use Reason as if it were another rack unit. When I record my songs I have the SPDIF output of the mixing board running back into the SPDIF in on the 828 sending it into the G4 via firewire. I record the song signal with Peak. No degredation other than the negligable digital to analog conversion from the 828 to the mixing baord, or by when I want things to distort intentionally. There could be obvious differences between what I'm doing and Rewire'ing Reason through Logic that _could_ cause degredation. However again - I would doubt it. Especially if you are exporting individual loops and then importing them into Logic as an audio file in an audio track.
