1. You'll experience it on both outputs. 2. If you have the right skills and the right equipment you should manage. Though I doubt that any average electronic freak will be able to do that. ( For sure G. Rankin must be considered a quite capable engineer. He and Steve Nugent (Empirical Audio) failed to come up with an explanation. Both of them and many more professionals are well aware of what I am describing. ) Manufacturers do have to deliver standard specs such as THD/SNR etc. If you're very lucky you'll see jitter measurements ( which usually doesn't mean anything). The manufacturers won't be even interested to do more then required. Marketing strategy, cost and competition will dictate the efforts taken.
