Maybe they aren't
Yes, it may be quite academic given the quality of receivers these days (not including audiophool nonsense products).
Maybe. There is a lack of serious studies related to the audibility of different forms of jitter.Maybe they aren't

A bit of it here:
Audio Electronics: Is Digital Jitter Really a Problem?
Since the dawn of the digital era decades ago, the timing error known as "jitter" in A/D/A converters has been accused of harming audio fidelity. Some people claim that jitter adds audible distortion and noise, affects bass fullness, and even harms stereo imaging width and depth. This article...

Did you download the Project Files?
Check if YOU can hear it.

That is the kind of study Archimago would do.
I don't need it. I can use Distort myself.

I agree.
To be honest I don’t really care for miniscule differences between properly constructed digital audio sources. Maybe if my main setup was a nonplusulta headphone thing. Maybe.
With speakers in a room there’s so many much more audible errors to throw time, money and effort at.

Diminishing returns, as they say. Better off with improved room correction, room treatments, better speaker/sub placement, and/or better speakers.

Performed by whom?

I don’t know. Personally, I don’t care to. Valentino asked the question, but I don’t know him personally, so I cannot venture a guess (his wife? His best bud?). Same would apply for you. It was merely a simple suggestion, not a mission statement or collegiate thesis.

Audiophiles don't like blind tests. They might not get the answer they want (even if the difference is "night and day")

A tad harsh. Dyed-in-the-wool Subjectivist audiophiles, who possess only a sketchy knowledge of Physics and are in possession of Golden Ears, don't like blind testing.
The rest of us have no objection to it. (Providing nobody starts fiddling with volume controls).
