dedicated cd player or dvd-cd


I have a new harman kardon 38 dvd - cd player
using only for audio. sounds bright, a bit thin.
seem to get more bass from an adcom tuner FM?

can I expect much improvement from a audio/ cd only player.
NAD,or recomendations? probably used to start.

The only DVD/CD player I've experienced that did both well is Arcam. There obviously may be others which do both well. I found DVD players to sound agressive and grainy with a high sizzle factor compared to dedicated CD players.

Considering your considerable investment in 2 channel gear, I would suggest a dedicated CD player.
