DAC for my HHB Burnit

I posted this over at AA, but thought maybe I'd reach a different audience over here (my apologies for cross-readers).

I'd like to improve upon my HHB Burnit, which I use as a player. Check out the players description and specs here.

I'd like a DAC that I can leave on all the time, and that doesn't need to be out in open view (so it can stay behind a closed cabinet door).

I value a more upfront presentation; palpable images, liquid, yet detailed. Don't necessarily need all the bass.

My first thoughts were something from Bel Canto, Birdland, or Perpetual P-1, P-3...

Thanks for any suggestions!

ugh... just what i didn't want to hear alex. well, my other thought, as i still (believe it or not), don't have a dvd player, would be to get a muse model 9, as my player, and use it for dvd playback as well. but i have no idea what it's sonic signature is, just that people rave about it (anything they don't rave about?... oh yeh, my HHB + a DAC... ;)

Believe it? Hey, no Yo la tengo DVD either! Or so-called 'hi-rez' digital audio for that matter, though I'm not as interested in that (and am even less interested in HT). Still, that is part of why I'll also probably look at getting a universal player at some point - just as soon as today's good ones trickle down to Audiogon at half-price or less :-)

I've owned the Bel Canto DAC2, and I never found it 'closed in' or 'dark' at the top. If anything, it is slightly to the sunny side of neutral in the treble.
