...definitely have a chance of affecting the sound. There are reasonable mechanisms there, and I recall seeing a link--sorry, I don't remember where it was--suggesting that there were indeed measurable differences with at least some of these products. And to answer your question: No, I haven't tried any of them, except for the IC, which I'm completely comfortable saying (and I know your experience is different) cannot alter the optical properties of the disc...or any other properties.The key thing here is to make a distinction between those products that can REASONABLY CLAIM to affect the optics of a disk (whether they do or not is another question) from those that cannot reasonably make such a claim (like the IC).
I've got the technical knowledge to make measurements like this but, regrettably, I'm not well equipped. One observation: anything that has to do with disk optics--whether it's reading errors or jitter--will be transport and DAC-dependent. Your results may vary.
Best,
Jim
