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?
I believe there are two versions, the SE and SEi; the latter being a jupiter caps upgrade. Let us know if you learn anything new about the SEi. And yes, I agree Gary is really a good guy; always very responsive.
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.
