    Border Patrol DAC? SE version with both USB and S/PDIF inputs?

    The Border Patrol would be great but outside my budget.

    I have a Chevron Paradox NDF NOS Dac which certainly is smooth and analogue sounding and in addition massive amounts of fine detail. Various inputs including AES, Coaxial and USB. Outputs are balanced and unbalanced. Serviced and USB upgraded by Colin Yallop in 9/16. £750

    Possibly a mistake but I'll probably got for something a little more mainstream. Thanks anyway.

    Had one of those a while back. Nice DAC but I didn't really get on with it in my system.

    Heart vs Mind Adam. Mind says sell as I don't use it much these days, heart says keep as I know what such perfection this DAC is.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I’ve got a SW1X DAC1 Standard Passive that might do the trick. It’s been compared to the Audio Note DAC 0.1 & AN DAC 1 for a fraction of the price. It has a zero feedback valve output stage & sounds wonderful running off of my streamer.

    I can sort out some pics if you’re interested. Looking for £575 & you can have it on approval, so if you don’t get on with it you can return it & just cover the delivery cost.
