Do you mean that the musicians reconstruct the music in accordance with their memory, or knowledge of the piece?  Or even their opinion of how it "should" sound? 

I do not think that memory or knowledge has anything to do with it. Sure the memory or knowledge are more developed with musicians but it is not important for audio subjects. There is a difference between musical knowledge and musical understating. Musical knowledge is a great thing but it has little application to audio. The musical understating is more beneficial but it is not necessarily higher developed among musicians. The knowledge of the driven musical peace is very overrated. How many times you heard a new peace that you never heard before and recognized that it was badly played, not technically badly but musically badly? Instead of knowledge I would vote for an evolved understanding….
