Csim123,
I currently own both the Havana and The DLIII with mod 3. I purchased the Havana because in my system the PSIII was just too bright for my liking. It is however very accurate and revealing and has a lot of detail. I believe it to be a very good dac. I also learned it has very good jitter control because I noticed a difference right away with the Havana. I added a Monarchy Dip and that fixed the problem. For me the Havana works much better in my system as I have SS gear and I have a lot of hard surfaces in my room. I think the warmth of the havana and the fact that it's a nos dac is what does it for me. Maybe with a warmer system the DLIII would be better. Hope this helps.
