I think you can figure that without moving the phone on one
ear what you hear will sound as though every source has been
moved to one side a distance such that the path length to
one of your ears has been lengthened by 1/3 inch.
Every sane source that I know of says that this will be inaudible.
I don't notice anything peculiar  when I listen on phones (except,
of course, for the unusually clear and beautiful sound.
.I have tried moving my speakers 1/3 " but it doesn't make them
sound like I was playing a CD when I was really playing an LP :-).
I really, really do think you can forget that particular difference.
Unfortunately we can't do anything about the D to A converters
used. There is hardly anyway to even measure them without spending
big bucks. Worry about that one, it's more legitimate.
