It is audible in my experience, black vs silver CDR disk.

Even Plextor painted the disk tray black and could measure a lower
jitter as reported by you yourselves some time ago from private
communication on the advanced CDR list.

As the DACs used are not immune to upstream changes to the incoming
amount of jitter then any changes here may be audible to the end
listener.

Depending on the associated equipment the difference may go un noticed
to clearly audible in my experience.
