Adobe DNG Converter and Leica Q2

Joo

The DNG files from the Leica Q2 are rather beefy at around 80MB per photo. I took a batch of Q2 DNGs and ran them through the Adobe DNG Converter. For the entire set of 52 photos I converted, the converted DNGs were in total about 1/3 smaller than the original Q2 DNGs. I then ran another conversion, this time using lossy compression, and the resulting files were 80% smaller than the original Q2 DNGs.Does anyone have experience with the Adobe DNG Converter's lossy compression? Is there a noticeable difference in IQ?  Are there any quality differences between Adobe DNG Converter's lossless compression and the Leica Q2's original DNG?Thanks!

If Adobe's lossless compression really is lossless (everything I've read & seen about it indicates it is) it won't degrade image quality.-Dave-
