Cannot speak for the Furutech Destat, I use the Bedini and it works. I've done double blind tests with friends who are far from audiophiles and they confirm improvement. I've simply used two identical CDs, one treated and one not and switched them out randomly.
There was a very recent thread on this subject. You might want to do a search. There were those who found it useful and those who heard no difference. Almarg had a very plausible explanation for the different responses to the destat. As for me, I hear no difference.
I used to use an Audio Revive demagnetizer. I sold it off once I started putting CDs on top of a Schumann resonance device for about 10 seconds before playing. No comparison.
