It's entirely possible that the 950's DAC will sound better (that was my experience with a Yamaha CD changer, at least to my ear), but Burr-Brown's DACs have been very well regarded for a long time. Either way, it can be sort of fun deciding which you prefer -- certainly not a bad problem to have. Enjoy your 950!
