Sure it does. It's lossless, just like gzip and similar utilities.
What you get in what comes out.

If it didn't make any difference, it would be because you couldn't
hear any mp3 artifacts on pop music, which sadly I can. They're
different but they're there.

16bit/44.1 files off a CD don't exactly sound great.
Far from pure, full and accurate.

Um, probably better than your ears can detect, or any transducers you have
can reproduce. By an order of magnitude !

Ever heard one CD that sounds fantastic ? Then they all *could*.
