Using Samsung DVD player as CD player?


I'm currently putting together a small audio system for my 110 sq. ft. room, to be used primarily used for classical music. I'll be using PSB Alpha Monitors and a NAD C325BEE Amplifier (see links below), but have been considering just using my DVD player (Samsung 1080P9) as a CD player. Am I crazy? How much will the sound quality be affected?

Many thanks,
Robert

Thanks so much for the responses (to what is admittedly a pretty dumb question).

What are the biggest differences between those two NAD players? The C515BEE and the C545BEE? I do primarily listen to classical music---especially newer stuff, with a huge dynamic range, sharp, transient attacks, etc.

Relatedly, what are the things that make a CDP better suited to classical music than other types? Is it something locatable in the stats or is it simply a type of sound that a certain manufacturer will strive for? If someone could recommend a good book online hi-fi primer that addresses these things, I'd be greatful!
