The technical discussion is light years over my head. However, if hobbyists decide to develop a project to conduct blind tests of recorded music, then, to beat a dead horse, maybe it would make sense to test amps (cables? converters?) as well.
Cables are a non-issue forget about. I and thousands have wasted time determining just what electrical theory says should be the case. Cables are not a factor in audio except for certain broken or very peculiar situations. Those are well explained just looking at LCR effects. Like is the case with speaker cables and phono cables for LP. So yes the horse is dead, please don't beat it as it only stirs up the flies.
Amps are close that situation though not completely, not with some speaker loads or designs that intentionally have a sound like tube gear.
Converters are also close the same situation with modern ADC and DAC units.
