Rick, as I noted, CD/DVD players use a dual laser. It operates at the 780nm wavelength which is optimal for CDs and 650nm which is optimal for DVDs/DVD-As/SACDs; no compromise is involved. One of the old audio mythologies still floating around is that a "dedicated" CD player somehow has better sound, but when the CD/DVD players are operating at 780nm, they're in fact "dedicated" to playing CDs and do so optimally.
