If they do, can you see that in the measurements? Which part of the measurments is indicative of timbre variations with amps/DACs?
Yes I've heard this countless times. My question is specific; in what part of the measurements, can I make out timbre texture quality?If the DACs and amplifiers are reasonably good quality then you should hear no difference.
I suppose all of the measurements make a difference. They all contribute and are all important measurements.Yes I've heard this countless times. My question is specific; in what part of the measurements, can I make out timbre texture quality?
Alright thank you for your answer. Since this is a science site, I don't want any supposing answers, but facts. I'll wait for someone else to chime in.I suppose all of the measurements make a difference. They all contribute and are all important measurements.

Didn't you rather confidently deduce yesterday that it must be in the jitter?If they do, can you see that in the measurements? Which part of the measurments is indicative of timbre variations with amps/DACs?

The short answer is when there would be a change in timbre it would be cause by a change in the frequency response.
This we do not see and simultaneously explains why said effects (change of timbre) is never been shown in any well conducted blind test.
I suspect... ThisThat combined with the answer from @majingotan give you the answer you need. DACs (if they have a linear response curve they do not impact the timber.) Amps might do it if you have an impendance miss match (in the case of the IEM) and the headphone is susceptible to it.
What I really want to know is why is this question is bothering you? Are you afraid that the gear you have isn't good enough?
I've wondered about about how non accurate devices measuments correspondeds to subjective impressions too. For example let's say I'm looking for sweet treble, rich midrange and accurate bass. How would the distortion / imbalance look in the treble/midrange from the measuments? Is there a thread that's dives into this? As a new member I'd find that to be very useful reading.

It's not bothering me. I'm just curious how my subjective impression of differences related to graphs.That combined with the answer from @majingotan give you the answer you need.

Let me rephrase. I'm interested to learn what different types of measured distortion sound like. Just out of scientific curiosity.
@pkane has written a brilliant piece of software which will allow you to do exactly that. Links under his signature.Let me rephrase. I'm interested to learn what different types of measured distortion sound like. Just out of scientific curiosity.
