<< I am trying to understand if there really might be an advantage to the beefier transports as some have asserted. >>Everything makes a difference. In a vacuum, the Teac transport probably offers better sonic performance than other transports. (I don't know this for sure as I haven't tried this in a controlled experiment.)
But we don't live in a vacuum. The Teac transport is extraordinarily expensive. As I noted in another post, using that in the Ayre C-5xe would roughly quintuple the price of that player. I seriously doubt that the performance improvement would be anywhere close to the price increase.
As a designer I am always looking at how to achieve the best possible performance for a given price level. I am fairly confident that there are more cost-effective ways to improve the sound quality of a digital player than by using the Teac transport. On the other hand, if there are NO budget restrictions whatsoever it might make sense to use that drive.
<< tests are run to determine whether any bits are lost by the transport >>
Wrong question. Just about any properly functioning CD player will retrieve the bits without error. Remember -- bits are NOT bits....
