I doubt that you are doing anything wrong, Ron. I've felt that way at times also. If you sit down and start listening to a DVD-A with little or no frame of reference it can sometimes appear that way. If you go back though and start listening to some CDs again the differences start making themselves apparent.
I usually start noticing it in the upper midrange and treble. It opens up more with DVD-A, without any harhness, especially with cymbals.
On a similiar note, before the Olympics, the NBC affiliate started broadcasting a 480p signal on their HD channel. I was thinking to myself that it really wasn't that much better than their analog feed. I was just going on my memory of watching the regular TV we are all so used to. When I switched over to the regular feed though, the differences were much more apparent and it wasn't even true HD.
It's a little harder to do an apples to apples comparison with CD & DVD-A like the above example, but I think the analogy holds true.
