Subjectivist chiming in who bought the Border Patrol SE Dac and returned it....
Apparently I like the decay and transparency of a typical DAC because I felt the Border Patrol sucked the life right out of my system. It was coloring the sound but definitely not to my tastes and it made me want to leave my system turned off. Anyone who thinks DACS all sound the same just needs to plug this one in!
I honestly don’t get the rave reviews for it but hey, everyone’s tastes are different. I certainly would never recommend this as a blind buy for someone though.
