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.

Just affixed two additional small NDM squares to the perimeter boundaries of my Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK2 transport top surface. (Previous modification was not done.) Will report impressions after listening to some music.

My listening evaluations are finished. I’m without words: just let me say this is the greatest improvement in my audio system to date. More so than anything other than exchanging loudspeakers, which is more about flavors than realism. Greater microdynamics, seemingly purer sonics and dimensionality. 

Geoff, this kit is way too cheap!
