DVD vs. LD sound quality

Has anybody with a combi-DVD/LD player compared the sound of these two different media? I have separate DVD and LD players feeding the 2-channel PCM tracks into a Monarchy DIP superdrive, then to a Theta D/A converter. For both L.A. Confidential and The Fifth Element, I could swear that the audio is cleaner and the bass has more impact on the LDs vs. the DVDs. Since these are separate players, my experiment has too many variables, so I want to hear from single box players using the same digital circuitry.
