What does this even mean?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARS_code

The three letters of the code have the following meanings:

  • First letter – the type of audio recorder (usually a tape recorder) used during initial recording (analog or digital)
  • Second letter – the type of audio recorder used during mixing (analog or digital)
  • Third letter – the type of mastering used (always digital for CD releases)

There are five types:

  • AAA – A fully analogue recording, from the original session to mastering. 
  • AAD – Analog tape recorder used during initial recording, mixing/editing, Digital mastering.
  • ADD – Analog tape recorder used during initial recording, Digital tape recorder used during mixing/editing and for mastering.
  • DDD – Digital tape recorder used during initial recording, mixing/editing and for mastering.
  • DAD – Digital tape recorder used during initial recording, Analog tape recorder used during mixing/editing, Digital mastering.
