Esoteric X03-SE vs Bel Canto Dac3/CD2

Thanks for the input Montejay. In my system I have to
have a dac for my Wadia 170i ipod transport and for
my home theater system. The Wadia is amazing by the way. Buying the D05 and P05 are
out of the question. It is way too hard to sell a
stand alone transport these days. I would consider
buying the D05 but I hear that the rca input is not
that great and the dual 115 ohm inputs are the best
option. Ideally, I wouldn't mind having the X03SE
for stand alone cdp and as a transport to a D05, but I
am not sure if this is a waste since I would have to use
the rca input. Another cheaper option is to go with
the X03SE and a bel canto dac3.

If anyone has tried the D05 using the rca input I would
like to know your opinions. From what I have read the D05 has the sound staging that I want but image density and presence on vocals are just as important. The Bel Canto
really does excel at this.
I really wish that the
X03SE would come with a digital in. That would solve
everything.
