Anyone use a DVD player as a front end?


I was at a friends home today and listened to his system which is fronted by a Pioneer DVD player. My friend plays CD's on the DVD player and in his very nice system,the sound was extraordinary. Far superior to many transport/DAC combos that I have heard. What's going on?

Since a DVD player uses the same D/A and analog output circuitry for CDs and DVDs, it's a bit strange to say that a player does one better than the other.
