Short answer is likely no difference.
Long answer:
The current standard of rating loudspeaker sensitivity is with a 2.83 Vrms input. Thus, for 4 ohm speakers, it is 2 W. Therefore, the speaker sensitivity at 1 W is 89 dB. With my assumption of 10 ft listening distance, stereo setup, speakers within 4 ft of front wall, at 5 W, the SPL at the listening position is 92.3 dB
(link to speaker SPL calculator).

Distortions is not going to be an audible problem with any of these amps as the worst offender Aiyima A07 has a THD of ~0.004% (about -88 dB from looking at the distortion peaks in the FFT plot). So we'll look at noise, and the Aiyima A07 (
ASR review) 5 W signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is 84 dB.
You can get better performance from the Fosi Audio V3 (
ASR review) with 5 W SNR of 91 dB
due to its outboard power supply.
[Edit] Both the Aiyima A07 and Fosi Audio V3 use outboard power supplies. For some reason, Amir's test of the Aiyima A07 showed quite a bit of line AC frequency noise.
The Buckeye 6 ch NC252 (
ASR review) 5 W SNR is 97 dB, which should be representative of the typical NC252MP implementations.
Thus, the noise levels from the amplifiers you will hear at the listening position for the A07, V3, and NC252 at 5 W are 8.3 dB SPL (= 92.3 - 84), 1.3 dB SPL (= 92.3 - 91), and -4.7 dB (= 92.3 - 97), respectively. These numbers are all far below the normal background noise level of domestic rooms of about 30 to 40 dB SPL, and therefore you will be unlikely to be able to differentiate between them.
Note that the above numbers are best case numbers that only count the noise contributions from the speaker amplifiers. The noise from the DAC (and other noise such as ground loops and interference picked up by cables) magnified by the speaker amps are not included, and proper gain staging (such as running the speaker amps with minimal gain and running the DAC to its highest practical output) is still important.
