Depends on your sources. If you have a really good analog source, the modified Behringer will come up short on mids and highs compared to the PLLXO.
If you are going all digital, then the modified Behringer should provide you a very good DAC and a good clock (if you chose the upgrades) and sound very good. That is because the Crystal DACs that are compatible with the DCX can do 1V output, so you can forgo an output stage, and simply use coupling caps or output transformers. These will sound better than most active output stages on a CD player - even a seriously good one.
