Most unlikely to be a difference. In my view, for the past 5+ years, since
ADC & DAC chips have reached their current level of performance, it's hard

You may well be right, and, if pushed, I would tend towards the view
that I would not be able to detect any audible differences. However, I
would like to 'prove' it (or disprove it) for myself using a
scientifically valid experiment rather than taking it on faith.

It's an interesting thing to do. I've done a couple of double-blind tests
using either my wife or "civilian" friends who wouldn't know a DAC (or
whatever) from a wooden leg. It tends to be a humbling experience when one
thought of oneself as a bit of a golden-ear!
