When spoken casually, how different do 「た」 and 「だ」 in 「頂きます」 sound to native speakers?


For example, it's very difficult for my ears, which have been accustomed to
Mandarin that does not differentiate voiced sounds and unaspirated voiceless
sounds, to tell the difference between 「た」 and 「だ」 in those 「頂きます」 in [a new
CM released by Suntory](https://youtu.be/EMXu_T3PD58?t=13s).

Just feel curious about how different they, as in the CM above (not standing-
alone), sound to native speakers of languages (Japanese, English, etc.) that
do differentiate the two in principle.




The people in the video are clearly saying いただきます, not いだだきます or いたたきます.
Voiced and unvoiced consonants sound totally differently at least to the ears
of native Japanese speakers, and I have never seen a native speaker who has
difficulty distinguishing them.
