Oppo BDP-95 Versus Bel Canto DAC 3.5

I am interested to hear opinions from those who have heard both.

I look forward to your comments.

Thanks!

Use BDP-95 as a universal disk source and for great home theater. Go elsewhere for computer audio playback, and a fully configured BC DAC 3.5 system is near top-of-the line, imo.

Bel Canto is coming out with a new line of asynchronous USB converters which I will consider." Given your budget considerations, do you happen to have an extra laptop or other pc that you can dedicate to computer audio, at least for starters? I ask this because for some, a Mac mini is only incrementally better than a well-integrated pc system. And your Oppo is perfect for not only those SACDs, but also those times when you want great audio and video from DVD or Blu-ray. Also, consider existing versions of Bel Canto USB converters, typically selling at half retail, that are Centronics-based and excellent for resolutions through 24/96.
