Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment?

This is a set of adhesive-backed thin plastic pieces that one attaches to one’s transport or player disc tray. The disk rests on them during non-spin mode, but presumably don’t touch the applied thin pieces during playback mode. The company says the new Dark Matter pieces reduces background scattered light from reaching the photodetector, thereby improving performance. 

Anyone tried this product? Please specify transport or player if you have and your impressions.

Indeed the NewDark Matter with the adhesive paper to attach the Squares is super thin and Easy to apply. A 10 minute project at maximum. 
I continue to be impressed with the improvement after installation that my Oppo 203 DVD player is showing.
added bonus- there is no break in time and the Dark Matter Squares are not directional!

Not directional? That is very suspicious.

Well, they are directional, aren't they? Top surface absorbs; bottom surface does not. Lol

So I received the kit in the mail over the weekend. I was going to initially use the kit with my Oppo Blu-ray SE-83 front-loader player. I bit the bullet and applied the kit to my Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK2 top-loader CD transport instead. The listening sessions are ongoing.
