Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS?

Just curious about these CD tweaks. The Furutech destat machine is tempting at around $350--I like their products. What is the story behind Furutech's discontinuation of their RD2 disc demagnetizing station? I see it was taken up by Acoustic Revive as the RD3, a supposedly improved version. Did it not prove effective by Furutech's standards, or did they let it go in favor of their much more expensive demagnetizer for vinyl and CD? Just wondering if the RD3 does work to improve sound. There isn't much mention of it in the past few years.

The way I read and understand this, the CD itself is not
magnetic, but the ink used to print the top of the CD can
be, which might create a magnetic field.

I have tried a couple of these "CD Demagnetizers"
in the past and really couldn't hear any difference.

YMMV
