Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems

I am considering moving over to optical cartridge system. Wondering if any of y'all have had experiences you can share from using the system.

In the case of the DS Audio system I do have experience with it and definitely stand by my opinion of the quality of its sound. I have 7 turntables set up at the moment in 3 different systems, two with DS-003 cartridges. In terms of the life-like quality of the sound, I’ve simply not heard anything better.

My previous carts that it bested was an Ortofon Century and before that was a Top Wing Blue Dragon. As @saburo commented the DS is a “major disrupter” and on the level of Tesla to the automotive industry.
