Certainly YOU should be able to give a better reference than Gelven (smile).
As for your question, in Being and Time, Dasein is defined as that being for
whom Being is a concern. To be pedantic I would say that Dasein has to be
"self aware" (in a sense) and not just "living". T%he Being of all beings
is Being. The route to an exploration of Being has to start with a being
(Dasein) but I think it would be wrong to give Dasein the characteristic of
being the Being of all living Beings.
