Huh? Ask him to explain what that is, I bet he can't.

Did you study physics? They normally demonstrate this
effect in Physics 101, it's called "interference".
Set up a constant tone coming out of a pair of speakers
and walk around the room. You'll notice that the volume
level changes depending on where you are. This effect is
more obvious with low frequencies than high frequencies.

This nothing to do with any encoder/compressor, it's just
physics in action. Connect an laboratory signal generator
to your amp and it will still happen.
