DVD Player, Better Sound?


I have a Technics CD Player from 1986, I'm using a Luxman
Int Amp with Snell Type E2 Speakers. A Salesman at Tweeter
in NY told me if I use my DVD Player CD's will sound a
lot better. Speakers are in the shop so I can't check it,
what can I expect? Thanks for the help (Old Guy New to

I agree with Drhst20. There is an interesting review by John Atkinson, I believe, in this month's Stereophile where he compared a cheap DVD player to a high end CD player, and found it listenable and, while no match for the high-end player overall, still a good performer. I myself substituted a Sony DVD player for an old, late 80's Sony CD player in a friend's system, and found the DVD player much better. I think it's more a matter of better digital circuitry compared with what was available at the price point in the 80's than anything else.
