People who look for reasons to doubt DBTs generally believe they can hear an audible difference sighted but cannot hear an audible difference blind. They are trying to discover some difference in the testing methodology (other than sighted-vs-blind) to justify their belief that they really hear a real audible difference. They want this other difference in testing methodology to be the reason the believed audible difference vanishes in blind testing, rather than accepting that it vanishes simply due to the blinding.
In both kinds of tests, people need to rely on their memory. If there is any difference, it is that they need to rely on memory less so in some DBT designs (as saratoga says), not more. Hence reliance on memory is not this "other" testing methodology difference that they seek.
In short, I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
