Which sounds better--DVD or CD?

I'm just curious--which format offers superior sonics: DD or DTS encoded DVD's or regular CD's? Many music concerts are available in both formats.

Couldn't agree more with Plato

However, if you have a crappy dvd player and a highend cd player, cd's may sound better for you.
