Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc?


I've got Springsteens new cd on order with Amazon and its a dualdisc, which, from what I've read does not quite meet Redbook standards. What should I expect? Damage to my Cary 303/200 or my Toshiba DVD player? What kind of sound quality?

I did do a quick search on the forums before writing this note, and I could not tell exactly whether the folks who wrote were experienceing problems with dualdisc or there was just anger in the perception that Sony was taking up the cause of dualdisc in place of SACD.

What's really going on?

Thanks,

Whilst the Sprinsteen disc has a seperate DVD here in the UK,HI-FI Choice magazine last month gave away a Dualdisc and my Ayre CX-7 just doesn't read it at all.
Not good.
I hope to be posting a review of Devils And Dust on Lugs in the next week or so.It needs a little revamp to start the 2005 reviews of which there are plenty already to do.

I prefer O'Brien's production on this album to his work on The Rising and the material is at least good infact it's very good in parts I'm just at the stage of trying to determine how good.

Here in the UK,the DVD comes as a seperate disc, I don't have 5 channel but the 5 acoustic performances are excellent.
