If the source and target are both lossless, then yes. ALAC was available in iTunes since 2004 AFAIK.
Caveat: CDs were 44.1/16 so if the original files had more bit depth, they would require downsampling. Technically lossy, but not "compression" per se. But AFAIK, iTunes was also 44.1/16.
Is burning to a CD and ripping it lossless?
