Headphoneus Supremus
Only thing I can tie the wet vs dry is the waterfall graph showing tonal decay which is headphone related.
What is the threshold of audibility for reverberation and decay? (Hint: It's a LOT higher than you think.)

I'm just a little wary of everything I read from both sides of the debate. I mean, at least this guy has listened to and compared them. (And I know he is an experienced and respected member of this forum and others.) Shrugging it off and saying there's no way they sound different seems irresponsible to me. My perspective is: maybe, maybe not. I haven't listened to and done measurements for these amps, after all. Anyway, I'm getting an amp/DAC combo under $300, so no worries for now. If more expensive amps offer nothing more in the future, all the better for my wallet.
What are you trying to say?
How can one read a waterfall graph when one doesn't know what that represents in real world sound?
The answer is like the "Sabre Glare" above. You look at a wiggle in a line and you imagine you can hear it. Timing errors have to be VERY large to be audible. The sorts of timing errors people talk about as being important are often an order of magnitude or more below their ability to hear it.
