No, it is unlike converting SHN to FLAC.

is there truly a signal quality loss ? I would guess there is no video loss..

See above. The only inputs on the standalone are analog. So it's like taking a SHN disc, burning it to audio CD, playing the CD and then capturing that analog audio to hard drive and converting *that* to FLAC. Except that the format in question (MPEG-2) is lossy, unlike SHN, FLAC and PCM.
So there's definitely signal quality loss, and, as a "bonus", the resultant version is 70% larger than the original, superior version.
