Someone knowledgeable should create a similar list which explains terms like DAC, CDP, S/PDIF, IEM etc.

?? Which dictionary are you using? Not that it matters. I don't think there would be significant disagreement on the meaning.

Yes, since just about all these terms are used metaphorically in ways so opaque to outsiders that we might as well include them here.
I'm tempted to invite suggestions for completely made-up words, but that would be silly.

Yep, nice list.
Comprehensive enough to give most a better understanding of the terminology without overwhelming them. I'd restrict new entries to only the most common terms or it'll get a bit much for the uninitiated.
Sticky candidate.

Thanks so much for this. It really does help. 
I was actually going to suggest that someone do this. The amount of terms here really can be daunting for newcomers.

Added the term Shrill to the list.
I agree that the list should be kept as concise as practical.

Nice list, but it lacked the one thing I was looking for: what exactly is rolloff?

as far as I know from recording, roll-off is the gradual diminishing presence of frequencies from a certain point up or down... as in bass roll-off it means that the bass is still present, but from a certain frequency down it is less and less present until it finally dies out completely. It is somewhere inbetween bass extension (= full presence) and bass cut-off (= no presence beyond a certain frequency)
correct me if I'm wrong though
