Border Patrol DAC SE>SEi Upgrade?

There are quite a few threads discussing the Border Patrol DAC SE.  For those who have owned/heard the BP DAC SE and have upgraded/heard the BP DAC SEi version, are you happy with the upgrade?  How would you characterize the audible difference?

Gary's response to my question about different capacitors:

DAC SE 2017- March 2019 has Uptone Audio polypropylene caps.
DAC SE from March 2019 to May 2019 has Jensen paper in oil.
DAC SE-i from May 2019-December 2019 has Jensen.
DAC SE-i 2020 has Jupiter.
The Uptone/Jensen time windows are approximate. There was some overlap depending on availability.

So it looks like DAC SE-i can have Jensen caps or Jupiter caps, depending when a DAC was made.
