What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport?


Just wondering if there is some technical reason a dvd player won't perform as well as a cd player? Also why would a changer not perform as well as a single disc player? Please answer with technical reasons. Thank You

I agree w/the conviction that DVD players can make fine CD transports. Back when I first started obsessing w/finding a good-sounding CD player and had a Tjoeb 99, I bought a Sony DVD player (89.00) at my trusty Sony dealer -- supposedly for movies only. I A/B'd it with the 99 and guess what? I sold the Tjoeb and am still happy with the Sony, and this is in a $5,000+ system. Number of circuits and topolgy have absolutely no effect on the sound, but we tell ourselves otherwise in order to justify the Meridians, Krells, and Levinsons of the world.
