@vidister one of my lecturers did their phd on how we can not accurately reproduce computer sound art from the 90s because of changes in software and hardware design, so if you emulate a system from 1990 and run your csound code, the abstraction layers and the modern hardware will change things and mess with the artistic intent, and because most artists didn't write down which exact hardware and software setup they used, recreating the original artwork is impossible

but this isn't really about what audiophiles are about, this is the inverse, this is people worrying it doesn't sound shit enough
