Was the comparison level-matched? If not, then whichever DAC happens to output a slightly louder signal is likely to sound better (even if the difference in level is small enough that you don't consciously notice a difference in loudness).
Was the comparison sighted? If it was, then subconscious expectation bias will overwhelm any slight audible difference there may be. And it's no good saying "I had no preconceived opinions" - everyone has them, even when they don't know they do.
