Greg loaned me one of his expensive DACs for the week. It is a Boarder Patrol NOS (non-oversampling) R2R with a tube rectifier. I didn't tell my wife or older daughter anything about it to try to avoid prejudicing their opinions. With my new preamp (Schiit Kara F) we can fairly easily A/B test. I'm the one who isn't blinded as we tested the Boarder Patrol against my new Schiit Mimir (1/10 the cost of the Boarder Patrol). The Mimir is delta-sigma, and has the ability to do NOS.
