DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest?

I had a thread about CD transports hijacked by a member who insisted that I had to ditch the Border Patrol before doing anything else in my system. No idea how he landed on the Chord, but he did.

So, here you are... a place to stomp some more on the Border Patrol and praise the Chord... lol.

I tried a Border Patrol DAC after seeing the Steve Guthenberg Audiofiliac video on it, but when I tried it I thought it was very smoothed over and kind of lifeless in its sound. I was using an Ayre Codex at the time, and since then I went to a Chord Twoqute then to their Qutest and definitely the Chords are much more detailed and energetic and realistic.

Some people do like the Boerder Patrol unit it seems but maybe they haven't compared it to other ones that can give a clearer view onto the musical performance.

More to discover
