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 use a DVD Player as a transport. I notice no narrowing of soundstage ..sorry. I've also compared separate transport to cd player..again there just wasn't enough difference to warrant spending more. Maybe some of these players have more noise and jitter than others? These units must have extreme quirks to make your system sound as bad as some describe...I just haven't heard it.
I should have one of Audioengr's Turbomodded Electrocompaniet ECD-1 w/SuperClock 2 DACs here in the next week for an audition. Looking forward to hearing this DAC as I hear the differences in DACs, amplifiers, preamps and cables with no problems using a cheap dvd player.

Reubent,
No problem...I think DB test would show most couldn't hear the difference in transports. If you're one of the few that can, I commend you.

Good listening
