If f and g are in the same file, where g calls f, then implementations are not required to allow f and go to be separately redefinable. So that is to say, if f is redefined only, the existing g may keep calling the old f. The intent is that redefinition has the granularity of compiled files: if a new version of the entire compiled file is loaded, then f and g get redefined together and all is cool.

This isn't the default behaviour though, right?

Seems like a good guess. It would also explain why it doesn't support plugins.

"My mix sounds great on these hi-fi speakers — let me see if it also translates well to my ("crappier") NS10s!"

The NS10 have an excellent transient response according to some paper I read. Probably the one linked in the article.

Modern streaming services will recompress songs to a common standard, negating all of the loudness war stuff, but I haven't looked at new releases to see if heavy compression is still common practice on the master releases but I'd assume they still do it because practices change slowly.

I assume good mastering engineers create dedicated masters for each major streaming service because of their different requirements.

People of MQA surely have pointy ears like mr Spock.

I don't know about their ears but their marketing sure smells like it's been through a herd of bulls:

Q. Is MQA lossless?

A. It's better than lossless!

I'm pretty sure they used to claim the format was lossless instead of just implying something around those lines by using what they call a "lossless file" as a "digital container".
