"Ok if application A and application B both output bit true signal then why do they sound different?"
Because the DAC still has to convert the analog SPDIF signal to a digital form for the DAC proper. It basically has to parse it, and if the signal is not super clean the very fine timing of it will be off. The cleaner the signal, the more precise the timing.
Every digital source will output a slightly different SPDIF signal because it's a physical electrical square waveform. Those differences must account for differences between sources, even with "jitter-immune" DACs. I don't know why that's so hard to understand around here!
I'm a programmer, so I understand "digital thinking", but we live in an analog world, and in this world, everything is slightly different.
