Default CD player vs. DVD player

I posted last month about wanting to replacing my home 5-disc cd player.
It's a component player, not a portable. What I'd like my player to have as
far as features go is the
ability to change discs while one is playing and to accomodate mp3 cds. It
can be a 5 or 6 disc player. I have zero need to have a multi-disc DVD
player. However, I've noticed that just about any DVD player out there
plays CD audio discs in addition to a wide variety of other formats
including mp3 discs. Plus, it's increasingly difficult to even buy a pure
audio cd player anymore. Sure, they're out there, but mostly I see DVD
players.

I'm not a audiophile, but I can be picky. What I'm wondering is if buying a
DVD player instead of a cd player and using it just for my stereo (my TV &
DVD aren't used with my audio setup) will pose any problems in terms of
quality? Will sound quality be the same or worse? I can't imagine it'd be
noticeably better.

Thank you for your thoughts.


Sony still makes cd changers.

Although I'm suspicious of dvd video circuitry's possible effects on
audio quality, I like my Pioneer universal player.
