"3. Has anyone ever changed transports or cables and noticed the difference in sound?"
Yes. Within two minutes of getting my first two box (Proceed) CD player in the early 1990's I noticed that using a coax cable to connect the transport to the DAC sounded better than using a fiber optic cable. I mentioned this to my dealer and they confirmed that their listening tests had come out the same.

Not as hi fi but I noticed the same thing on my ZVOX TV sound box.
It was a 'rhetorical' question: Aren't all of you bothered that may not be getting all there is out of your transport/DAC setup? So, coax just sounding better means you haven't tried different coax cables?? True, they should all be similar, but, maybe not.
"Aren't all of you bothered"
Not at all
That is what keeps this hobby going
My Audio Note transport with mu Audio Note dac sounded much better than my Sony 5400 used as a transport

a company such as Audio Note stocks sufficient CD mechanisms to keep you guys afloat for a long time. Is it like Bryston's 20 year policy??
Judging by how long I keep my equipment, it would have to be AT LEAST 15 years. This is good news for American/British/Canadian companies that have a long standing record of customer support.
I saw a video on Audio Note and they have the largest store of parts for old gear I've ever heard of, Impressive for what is not a huge company.
Hope so. They use a modified Philips CD Pro2LF CD mechanism.
I had heard that Phillips has stopped making this but am not sure
Alan
it is no longer made but some stock are still available
