Re-Saving .wav File

I saved a 20 minute .wav file of a game broadcast. I later re-opened the file in Audition, lowered the level of the first 10 seconds, then re-saved the file under a different name.

Did I lose any sound quality?

Thank you,

    No you won't have lost any quality providing all the audio has been kept as .wav files which is what Audition works with natively. It is only if people start saving files in compressed formats like .mp3 that any deterioration in sound quality occurs on each re-open/re-save of the the compressed audio.
