I don't notice any difference in sound quality with my Micro amp when changing gains

Well in that case, if you assume that the gain resistors and the SA resistors are of the same type and quality, the difference would be between going through 2 resistors of lower resistance or 1 single resistor of equal resistance to the combination of the previous 2. In terms of the stuff the signal has to go through, there are a two more soldered connections and a tiny bit of circuit board in the second example but otherwise it's going through the same amount of 'innards of resistor'!
