has anyone tried ultrabit platinum on their cds

Psacanli- That's the biggest benefit that I noticed with the UBP: Much better focus between voices(instrument or vocal). Further- Many of the DVDs that I rent from the local video place are quite damaged, and lock up, go mosaic or skip to the next chapter(especially after they subject it to their "disc repair machine"). After applying UBP, 98% of them play just fine, and the picture quality improves as well. I hate having to use it that way, but it does save me a trip back to the store. The stuff is MOST DEFINATELY an effective way to greatly improve our digital source material. As you mentioned: The only caveat would be that the rest of one's system needs to be resolving to start with.

I have been using it on my main rig now for almost two weeks and am very taken back by what it does. Larger soundstage and better focus, and seems like more resolution (not to sound like the reviews, but...). At first I didn't think I would use it on every disc due to the time but now I use it every time I play a cd. I use the Bendini after the Ultra Bit. It has so widened the gap between my SB3/Benchmark and Esoteric. Its a must have.

Flute concertos benefit beautifully from Ultrabit Platinum with far greater presence and subtle vibrato.

I got the UBP (couldn't order it without the cleaner on the web site) for $82. a few days ago and tried it on a few CDs that were in my 'Sound lousy" pile. I wasn't expecting much but they sounded like totally different CD's - more detail retrieval, bigger soundstage and much more pleasant to listen to.

Encouraged, I then put it on 1 of my favorite CDs and again enjoyed even better imaging and air around the instruments as well as a more natural/"you are there" sound. If I hadn't heard it, I wouldn't have believed this could happen with ANY type of liquid treatment. I've just finished treating my top 35 CDs in current rotation and can't wait to hear them now. My system is very resolving and this will make waiting for my DAC to be built a lot more pleasant.

Uh oh Harve! What DAC did you end up going with?
