It's not lossy in the sense of frequencies, it's just, you can sample a million times a second. You are still missing SOMETHING from the original analog recording. Imagine a wall, and you're standing 10 feet away from the way. You then walk halfway between yourself and the wall. Then cut the distance in half again. And then again. You can take an *infinite* amount of steps to the wall, halving the distance each time, and still *never* reach the wall. Same goes for digital sampling, more or less. You can take an infinite amount of slices per second, but you'll never get it *all*
