It is all relative to what gear you are running, ie high quality amplifer should be mated to quality frontend, why? it sounds much better,

Sheer speculation on your part, sorry. No such evidence. Plenty hype and hearsay, very little else.




and you make it obvious you are using low end gear having made these comments,

More nonsense. Facts are not relative to what gear one has.



I tried my inexpensive dvd player on my system, it sounded thin lifeless & dull, the speakers lost transparency as the sound stuck to the speakers more, and the soundstage way smaller when compared to my new denon player, this is on both a decent HK receiver and a NAD integrated, same results...


Your bias had nothing to do with your unreliable perceptions, right?


Now if you have a receiver with good DACs like my H/K, then you can use the digital out

How do you know that is not what he was going to do?




It is well known in the audiophile community that a good cd player is very important,

Well known maybe. Factual knowledge, hardly.
Oh, what defines a good CD player, by the way? High price? Really?



it is also a known that most dvd players do not have excellent cd quality,

More uninformed audio sillyness.



Do you listen to much high-end gear?


Irrelevant audio sillyness.
