Other Notes: This SE-i DAC was made prior to 2020, at which point Border Patrol switched to using Jupiter Beeswax capacitors for its signal caps. This DAC features Jensen Alufoil/Paper-in-oil capacitors.

"With recording after recording, I heard a listenability that I’ve only heard in a few megabuck converters like MSB, Prism, Weiss, Lavry and dCS.

No, I didn’t hear anything for the first time that I hadn’t been aware of before. No revelations in dimensionality or detail, but it just sounded right. My ear wasn’t looking for missing detail while trying to ignore a scratchy lower treble – that famous edgy AND dark of poor digital.

FINALLY, the sound was artifact-free enough to not have to WORK at listening to music! More than a few times I was amazed by how clear and detailed the BorderPatrol SE-i sounded while simultaneously sanding down the digital rough edges." - Parttime Audiophile
