Yes, burning a bit perfect copy of a CD to a CD-R can sound different than the original. There are several factors that go into it. If you’re interested in learning more, I recommend you read the Genesis paper on burning black CD-Rs (see link). Even if you have no intention of using black CD-Rs, there is a lot of good information on burning discs in general.

Last I checked, there are 3 versions of that paper. Gary Leonard Koh released new versions as he did more research. A quick Google search and you can find the other versions.
