Simply put, the intention is to create an illusion that one is hearing the "real thing" when listening to replay of musical recordings - which then brings in one's interpretation of the word "real", in this context. Most would have an intuitive understanding of what I'm getting at, a simple example is a CD recording of some classical, solo piano music: if this is always able to "fool" you and anyone else into thinking that there is a real grand piano, and real, highly competent pianist in your home, say, both on a casual coming across the sound of it happening, and also when closely, carefully listening to the quality of the tone and other elements of how the sound comes across.
This just then naturally extends to any and all recordings being played on the audio system: they never draw attention to the fact that they are a 'fake', they are convincing in their presentation. One should never be aware that you are listening to an electronic, mechanical contrivance doing the work of generating the sound in the space - if this happens, then the conjuring "trick" has failed.
It's as simple as that ...
