This question is funny to me. Us as audiophiles are so concerned about making a mistake. The answer is No.. For the most part. Unless your concerned with the features a player may have, a carousel, anti-skip, resume, etc. The DVD player should be identical to a CD player in extracting the digital information from a disc and should therefore be an acoustically transparent medium.
The caveat is that you plan on using the digital audio out (toslink/coax) of the player in question and disable any digital DSP settings. Not all players DACs are created equal though. Unfortunately there are some very poor performing DACs a player might incorporate that may not be so, “acoustically transparent”.
