Re: 'Unlike software, there are no precise data patterns in music. So I question whether "lossless" can truly be lossles

But then again, even if the files can be restored exactly like the original, when playing lossless files, the conversion on-the-fly is likely to exacerbate jitter and add RFI.

This can be expected with cost-point design.

A good 'lossless' audio compression format can maybe average around 50% reduction in data throughput needed - sometimes less, sometimes more. Worthwhile, but not earth shaking.
