For those who feel CD transports do not sound different, I invite you to our listening room where we have Audiomeca Mephisto II, Metronome, Marantz, Cary, and a bunch of streamers to compare with your own ears.
I don't believe the dogmatic "All transports sound the same" types would accept your generous invitation to listen to the excellent choices you have. They're too bias and rigid in their mindset. Negative confirmation bias on display.
