Of course, I meant "cleaning an unscratched and not visibly dirty CD cannot change its sound". If the CD is visibly dirty then that might cause similar issues to scratches. I find there *are* advantages to computer-based audio. Personally I'm more likely to look at a CD's cleanliness when ripping than during an average play. Also, I tend to rip CDs immediately on purchase and so they're not scratched yet. Nevertheless my comments about unscratched (and not visibly dirty) CDs stand. They are read just fine by modern mechanisms/firmware, without special fluids or equipment. If the fluid is affecting the DAC...well, I'll leave that one to another post! But let me assure you from the IT side of things, reading CDs isn't a big deal anymore.
