Yes.

When your MD player reads from the disc, it "expands" the signal to a full
16-bit S/P-DIF signal.  This S/P-DIF signal is then recoded on the
recorder.  However, signal loss is so slight when you do this that
sensitive equipment is usually required to detect the difference.  Both DAT 
and MD are very popular tools for semi-professional and professional
editing and mastering.
