YouTube compresses the video as soon as it's uploaded, so it's unlikely you can obtain any sort of lossless download. You may be able to get a .wav or similar download of a video's audio track, but there will still be compression losses from the YouTube side.
This here answers OPs question. Most comments talk about download quality but YouTube's compression on upload is the biggest factor IMO.
