DVD Player, Better Sound?


I have a Technics CD Player from 1986, I'm using a Luxman
Int Amp with Snell Type E2 Speakers. A Salesman at Tweeter
in NY told me if I use my DVD Player CD's will sound a
lot better. Speakers are in the shop so I can't check it,
what can I expect? Thanks for the help (Old Guy New to

I agree with Drhst20. I recently went from a mid-80's Marantz CDP to a more recent, last 3 years, CDP with a tubed analog stage. The difference was huge. There are some very good all digital units out there today. I don't think that DVD is anything special, but a technology update is worth it.
I agree with Drhst20. There is an interesting review by John Atkinson, I believe, in this month's Stereophile where he compared a cheap DVD player to a high end CD player, and found it listenable and, while no match for the high-end player overall, still a good performer. I myself substituted a Sony DVD player for an old, late 80's Sony CD player in a friend's system, and found the DVD player much better. I think it's more a matter of better digital circuitry compared with what was available at the price point in the 80's than anything else.
I found my DVD player to sound alot better than my CD player. The DVD player sounds better because it has better Digital to analog converters in the player as opposed to my CD player.
Does "Tweeter" have money back return policy?If they do buy it,if you don`t like it take it back.
Some dealers have a demo check out policy. Where they let you take a demo home for a couple of days or so.It is written up as a sale and cancelled when the item is returned See if "Tweeter" does.
