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 seem to remember the "measurements" section of a review where John Atkinson discussed DVD players being able to generally read the more difficult test tracks without error, compared to cd players. OTOH, I found this post where he indicated their inferiority due to master clock frequency discrepancies.

With the newer stuff, I have to agree with Avguygeorge regarding quality and implementation as my Muse 10 sounds much better than the PD65 with D2D-1 and DAC 3.0 that it replaced.
