@mpomerantz - I would be very interested in hearing the difference between your new dac and the Heed. I own a Heed and find it anything but harsh or lightweight. That said, in my system, I was able to improve the sound considerably using a Vibrapod 3 under each foot. Really brought out more richness of tone, IMO. I replaced the Vibrapods with a Symposium Stealth Shelf $275) and found it rendered deeper and more pitch accurate bass as well as more harmonic density. But do try the Vibrapods. And let us know about your new dac when you get it. Enjoy.
Border Patrol Se-i vs Audio Mirror Troubadour MK III
Happy Thanksgiving all.
I am looking to transition from my Heed Abacus DAC; used with my vintage California Audio Labs CD player to a more analogue sounding DAC. The Heed has improved my CD sound, but still is a bit harsh and a tad light weighted.
I am looking into Border Patrol and Audio Mirror as options ( budget constrains me to 1500 price point ).
Anyone have any experience with these two products?
Thanks and stay well.
