When running online blind timing tests yesterday, I heard different clues when using multiple combination of dac and amps. I wonder why.
I thought, as long as I am using transparent DAC and amp, I can mix and match them and any combo will sound the same. But not this case. Is it okay?
More details here:
If this is not expected, can any expert explain to me why I get different clues?
Also, per the website at https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_timing_2w.php?time=5 ,
it uses clips with bass drum and hi hat. Thus, it can represent a short real music clip.
In that case, which kind of clue is more desired outcome, considering how it would likely affect regular music playback enjoyment?
Do we want clear double clicks kind of clue? Do we want slight tonality change clue? Do we want strong tonality change clue?
Thanks!

Timing test results - a poll
At lower delays, I was going by tonality and ambience created, not distinct clicks. No, it was more tonality than timing, like Amir said. Almost like the difference between Oh and Ah sounds. Interesting....I see. A few people mentioned that too. For me, I didn't really sense significant...
