Can a 5751 cause damage when used in a 12AX7 position?

I just purchased a Accustic Arts Tubed DAC and would like to use a Sylvania 5751 TM BP SG in the 12AX7 position in this DAC. The owner's manual states that use of anything other than a 12AX7 in this DAC will void the warranty. I am pretty sure that a 5751 can be subbed for a 12AX7 in any application wihout fear of damage. I understand the difference in MU value (12AX7=100 57571=70) but aside from that they are equivalent. All relevant posts will be appreciated (especially those from users of this DAC that have used 5751's). Thanks.
