A word to the wise; never try to explain the phenomenons that cause SQ differences in computer audio , that aren't yet well understood/widely accepted, using basic computer science/electrical engineering knowledge. You'll dig yourself into a very deep hole! 
It's such a complex topic with very rapid developments, I haven't come across anyone who can properly (as in completely) explain what's going on in all these cases. Proof or measurements are often lacking, at best in these cases there's theories as to some of the why's.
Explaining this all as placebo/expectation bias etc. is way too easy and something at least I won't accept as an explanation. Often differences are "night and day" as in don't need eleborate A/B testing.
Much credible theories/explanations are written on the Internet, I should keep a list where I read what for these types of discussions.
Last year I linked to some posts of people in the industry who give some pointers, they're here: https://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?...9#pid41689
