I was curious about this myself awhile back. So I open two wave files with great volume differences. I then burned the two tracks for standard cd playback - the sounds were much more compressed and not listenable. I then ripped the two track into wave forms and compared them to the original. I saw the low and high frequency of the higher volume track truncated. So don't normalize if you want to preserve the original quality.
