If i bounce a whole tune down to a wav,..does the sound deteriorate?,...maybe so little thats its undetectable by ear,.. but does actually deteriorate?...

Yes it deteriorates because you are going to a 16 bit 44.1kHz file. Most programs work internally in 32 bit and some in 88.2 or 96kHz, and if you have a good soundcard you can listen in 24 bit 96kHz before bouncing.
The loss in quality is quite minimal though, some loss in high frequency detail and a tiny bit less noise on silent passages.

Yeah, but anyway, the .wav format (cd quality) is nearly enough for all the sound info we are able to hear. Higher fidelity means more preciseness at editing and soundwork but gives extremely little more on soundquality.
The big leap is between 44.1 kHz 16 bit to 96 kHz 24 bit. Further leaps are unecessary (as you can't hear them). A human can hear ranges from 20 - 20 000 Hz, which is covered with the 44.1 kHz sound spectrum (stereo, 22.050 x 2 mono) and the 16 to 24 bit improvement is made for extra preciseness.
You can notice interpolation and phase shifting in high frequenciess (what you noticed on your recording) when working in 16 bit resolution, so it is not accurate enough for those sounds. That is what the 24 bit resolution solves. Not totaly, of course.
Oh man, I can't wait they to invent a direct nerve stimulation, so the signal doesn't have to come through your ear-drum, and thus we can receive virtually unlimited frequency pitch... imagine all those new sounds and posibilities...
There are already hearing aids which use this principle, but are kinda 'demo' versions if ya know what I mean.
Ok I stop now
