I'm thinking about purchasing a dedicated CD Player because the Blu-Ray Player built in my HTS receiver doesn't sound good when playing CDs.
What do you think?
What doesn't sound good to me is my wallet shaking at the thought of spending more money on a CD drive/player when it'll sound the exact same as a Blu-Ray drive/player.
Either way, it'll likely sound the same from both, it's just that a CD won't sound as good as a Blu-Ray as it doesn't have 5.1 surround like a movie from a Blu-Ray disc has.

Music was NEVER intended to be listened to in surround sound. Music has always been a front facing listening experience. Why do you think stereos are still 2.1 setups and why do you think SACDs (5.1 surround sound) failed when they were introduced. 5.1 and higher has always been for movies and more recently gaming to make you feel immersed in the movie/game.

To the OP if you are unhappy with your current CD player look for a different one. Do some online research. Go on some audio related forums and ask questions to people that actually know what they are talking about. AudioKarma is a good site (where I am).

If a tree falls in a forest when there's nobody there, does it make a sound?
Do CD's sound better in your computer?

There can be lots of difference. Difference DACs different lenses, etc.
