Esoteric X03-SE vs Bel Canto Dac3/CD2

Anyone out there compare these two players.
I have had a chance to hear the Bel Canto
combo and was impressed by its tone. Vocals
were very smooth and with good presence and
density. However, I would like more transparency
and a blacker background with better sound
staging. Is the Esoteric that much better?

Thanks for your input.

Scottmac62 - I hear you about that digital in. I would strongly consider the esoteric player if it had one. I actually posted a whole thread dedicated to the subject:
