I blame the pre-mature death of my Audio Alchemy DDSIII transport on the AUDIOPRISM CD Blacklight Mat and here is why.

The CD Blacklight is a 0.2 mm thick mat that sets on top of a CD or DVD, the disc with the mat on top of it is still thinner than a DualDisc! Yet after using it for about six months my transport stopped working. I would blame the thickness more than the extra weight but I am sure both played a part. Not only that I tried the mat in the DVP-S9000ES SACD player which replaced the Audio Alchemy and it caused the transport to make grinding and clanking sounds. I took it out tried it again with the same horrible noise. I got rid of the Audioprise CD Blacklight Mat.
This is why the CD/SACD/DVD-Audio equipment manufacturer warnings make perfect sense and are totally correct.
I personally will not play a DualDisc on my DVD-Audio player. When I am able to purchase a DVD-Audio player that is DualDisc compatible I will try one but not until them.
I wonder what excuse you will make when your DVD-Audio player dies playing DualDiscs.
Happy listening (while you can),
Teresa

CD Blacklight
The CD Blacklight disc is comprised of multiple laminations of synthetic materials that are laid-up in a constrained layering scheme, which provides very good damping characteristics. Conductive carbon is used on the interface surface to guide electrostatic buildup (each CD spinning inside your transport generates a static charge just by rotating in air) away from the disc. And AudioPrism's proprietary phosphorescence layer glows further to "bias" the laser, further reducing the effects of jitter. With CD Blacklight, music is more alive, neutral and detailed."
