DVD as transport

I am sure this question has been posted before, but I could not find an answer. Any recommendations for a dvd player as a transport for audio. The quality of the video is a non factor. I want my 6 year old to be able to watch dvds and I occasionally might throw an Iron Maiden concert dvd on but my primary concern is getting a very good transport to feed my bidat dac for realitively cheap. Has anyone compared Arcam, Cambridge, Marantz, Oppo for sound quality as a transport? Thanks!

I can't speak to the accuracy of this but I was told that the Oppo 983H that I have uses a CD drive that a couple of DAC makers use to voice their DACs with.
It's drawer mechanism is very quiet compared to my Consonance CDP and responds very quickly as well to commands. When I finally get around to choosing a DAC, I'm keeping the Oppo as a transport.
