Hi hope you enjoyed your testing! And yes, bits are bits. However, you should be aware that (IMHO) you haven't proved very much, at least that is relevant to the debates that spring up from time to time.
The main problem is that you were sending the bits into a data capture device, which if course did precisely what it was meant to do. You were *NOT* playing it into a device that was trying to catch the bits and then feed a DAC, which is how these things are really used. Basically, in your testing you've eliminated the effect of jitter, which is (alleged by some to be) the cause of real-life sonic differences. Yuo have therefore, unfortunately, proved nothing - if you are using a downstream DAC which is prone to jitter (which all of them are to varying extents) then you may well have differing results from an SB vs a Transporter, or via Coax or Optical, or with different cables.... All IMHO, of course.
