Oppo DVD with Bel Canto DAC2 make sense?

Does this combo make sense? Looking for a good DVD player to work with this DAC. 2 channel use only for video and audio.

While the sonics are fine, at that price level the build quality of the controls and transports becomes a frustration. I've been happier using one of the lower to mid-priced Denon DVD players. I've had both a 2200 and 2910 and been quite happy with that setup.

Do you also have the optional power supply, or just the stock wall wart? What is the rest of your system? Have you ever compared the VDA2 to the Bel Canto? What do you think of the sonics of the VDA2 - reviews on this piece are very rare. Thanks in advance.
