They do if they are done correctly, when you lay tracks down in a studio you go from say a Tascam 24 or a digital DM 64 track down to a DA-98 that records 8 tracks at 192khz, the same quality you can get on a compressed MP3.
Older studios actually put the 24 track feed to DAT tape and then off to the cd press, which is why I get a little laugh when people say CD's are truly digital. They are digital playback, but the source is often in question. At any rate with the demand for digital music people like Tascam/TEAC are gearing their equipment for that.
