Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: A very technical curiosity - how to assess the quality of a spdif stream ?

I think it would be more accurate to say that expensive transports don't necessarily sound good. But if you want to design a good one you'll have to pay attention to vibrations, power supplies, jitter, etc, and the quality of the components involved will necessarily have a cost.
Now at some point like with all things hifi there's also going to be a law of diminishing returns.
