This noise might have some effect on timing within the innards of the DS, but I don't know enough about these innards to have any insight into that.

Clearly, it's still all guesswork, but we can ask ourselves what the variance could be, if a change in the sonic experience is perceived. If the stream itself is bit perfect, is there anything other than the timing that can vary? I can't think of anything, but that may just be my lack of imagination.
