Bel Canto DAC1 or MSB Link III

Hi currently have a Pioneer dvd 525, I'm thinking of using either the DAC 1 or the Link III as a 24/96 d/a converter to above player. Can someone recommend which of the two sounds better? also which digital cables to use? thanks.

I am currently using the DAC1 with the 525. I am using the toslink connection to the DAC1 and some XLO Reference Type 1 to my amp. I am very much enjoying the combination. I have not heard the Link III in comparison, so forgive me for chiming in, I just had to relate how much pleasure the DAC1 has given me. It is much better, in my system, to my ears, than the Micromega Stage 4 player it replaced. Good luck and enjoy the thrill of the chase!

Maybe a Perpetual Technologies P3a versus Bel Canto Dac1 versus Msb III comparison would be more informative ? Does anyone have experience in comparing these two/three ?
