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?

Looking at the website the upgraded version appears to be available as an option. You might want to email Gary.  He really is a good guy.  
I've got the SEi version.  It was upgraded by Gary from the original.  The difference in the sound is as Gary states:  it's warmer and even more natural-sounding.  After listening for a while my feeling was that the cap upgrades got the sound closer to what I hear from vinyl playback.  Not as good but definitely in the same neighborhood.  An absolutely worthwhile upgrade.  Gary doesn't disappoint.  No drama, no nonsense.  Just great service and honesty.
