Well we can't rule out expectation bias either. With all due respect and based on some of your posts, you are a strong believer in cables.
I for me, I am an EE who has actually designed and built commercial digital gear and large systems for broadcast centers. I know that cables carrying digital audio cannot induce the effects reported on many audiophile forums. It just can't happen.
As for all CD transports sounding the same on the SPDIF output, if they follow the red book standard they should sound the same. However a CD transport still has a lot of digital audio processing hardware including the error correction. So it's quite possible different CD transports do sound different and of course it is a fact that DACs do sound different, but then they have analog audio processing circuits.
But a passive digital audio cable has no processing, it's just a piece of wire and as I outlined above, it cannot change a digital signal beyond causing high audible errors.
The whole point of digital audio and video is to get away from problems of cable loses, component drift, repeatability. But it seems some audiophiles just can't accept that idea. For them everything still has to make a difference. Science and engineering though proves otherwise in the case of digital audio cables fro a start.
