THere's nothing you can do about it. There's a reason why MP3 is called a "lossy" codec. You lose quality from it everytime to encode to it, and, depending on the bitrate, you lose more or less, but something is lost no matter what. And, the lower the bitrate the more you lose of the original file. You will have to rerip it from the CD or redownload it.

And it's not dbamp's fault, any encoding software will do the exact same thing, unless you are working with a "lossless" codec, like Monkey Audio or Flac.
