Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

"I doubt its usefulness in calculating distortion"...

...I guess that's my point; lots of doubt and speculation regarding DA effects in audio but no actual testing or even modeling. The fact that high DA electrolytics have been (relatively) successfully employed in audio causes one to doubt its importance but doubt there is.

The high level model of DA I've seen is a network of series RC networks paralleled across the ideal C. The time constants of the networks are a range of many seconds to many tens of seconds. Even if not an entirely accurate model, it ought to useful in determining whether or not DA is indeed something of audible concern. If nothing else, it should be easy to model and examine for gross high level effects.
