Apple TV 4K Gen 2 superior to Apple TV 4K Gen 3? Is any of this actually audible?

I just watched this video where it talks about the build quality, component quality, RF shielding, and engineering superiority of the 2nd gen Apple TV 4K (A2169), over the 3rd gen Apple TV 4K (A2843)


You can see the difference, but could you actually hear a difference? He’s talking about RF showing and DAC jitter as measured by his scope. Would any of that actually be human audible?

My use case for Apple TV is various streaming services, PLEX, and primarily for Apple Music HD Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos music)

I own the 2nd gen and 3rd gen and have never noticed a difference between the two. Doubt any of this is in the range of human hearing.
