So I was asking if the audio phase/sync would be preserved if a

It all depends on how big the errors are. The test results at the
end of my LAC 2012 paper provide some indication of this. From these,
if you compensate for the static delay difference, the remaining
variations are a few microseconds. Four usecs at 20 kHz means
around 30 degrees in phase, leading to the 0.3 dB loss in a mono
mix mentioned before. I don't think anyone will notice.
No I don't think anyone would notice that. I was thinking more about the
stereo imaging. I know at some frequencies the brain senses direction of
the sound by the phase difference from one ear to the other. The last time
I did speaker listening tests (10 years ago?), I found very few that gave
good imaging anyway (and they were not the most pricy either). Maybe
things have gotten better. Maybe usecs of difference from one ear to the
other are not noticable too.
