I have some old ADAT tapes and I would like to archive

to
the computer via firewire. If I play the tapes and record the tracks to
disk
with Ardour, will they be transferred losslessly or is there a digital <->
analog conversion happening somewhere in the chain? If there is a
conversion
happening, is it anything to be concerned about or would it be high quality
enough to not be noticeable?
its 100% digital all the way.
