You need to find out if DVD output signal is distorted or distortion is caused by overdriving amp/pre input. If you do not have a scope to "see" this, then you can try to drop signal comming out of DVD. To make it simple do it on one channel only. Use simple voltage devider (2 resistors, say 1k each) and cut signal in half. If this cures the problem, then your DVD outputs signal too high, (piece of junk by the way).
If this does not cure problem, then DVD is even bigger junk. Get another unit and get rid of that one.
Also a phenomenon called digital clipping ,may me involved here, and your model of DVD just does not do anything to hide this. In this case I preffer to say DVD is OK, but recording engineer should be executed.
Your CD maybe covers this better so you do not hear it from CD. I would like to point that units that cover digital clipping are not good. This units will have harder time with square-like signals below 5 kHz, that plays role in the music.
