Milpai - Sorry for the late reply to:
This is a completely new one. Never heard that before. Can you please explain how one can hear "code" in digital music reproduction?
It's really pretty simple for me - Once you've been through hundreds of software development cycles you pick up on common themes which include reduction in features, reduction in feature quality, bugs and issues put on the backlog and planned for future release, reduction in fidelity or usability.
We all experience these realities every day in everything from mobile apps, automatic updates, firmware revisions, etc. etc.
In the case of the digital domain as it applies to music, all of these factors also take their toll. Case in point - why is there a new file standard or DAC chip every five minutes?
In software there's an understanding that whatever gets delivered is already obsolete the second it is released and should therefor be considered as largely disposable.
In my personal case, I can hear all of these "shortcuts" as digital artifacts like graininess, compression, glare, artificial emphasis, limited dynamics, software imposed curves, smoothing, etc. etc.
Wish I didn't notice them since like most others that prefer analogue, I'm still a slave to my digital library that's massive in comparison to my vinyl.
