Default Behringer SRC2496 as a hi-fi DAC

I have been on the lookout for a 44.1/48/96kHz DAC for hi-fi use. The
only device I found initially was produced by Meridian, and had a four
figure price tag.

On following some links posted here to broadcast equipment I tumbled
on a Behringer sample rate converter that also has ADCs and DACs and
costs less than two hundred pounds.

Its paper specification looks impressive and it appears to do
everything I could possibly want and much more. Before parting with my
hard earned money I would appreciate comments about the suitability of
this equipment for domestic hifi use. Specifically, what would paying
an extra 1,300 pounds for the Meridian DAC give me?

Thanks.
