The much cheaper Mimir is the winner. They are very close. The Boarder Patrol has a wider sound stage but not by much. My older daughter didn&#39;t really hear it (she did say the Boarder Patrol was more immersive after my wife said it was more immersive). But, what my wife and daughter both caught (more than me because I only hear to about 16kHz these days) was an unpleasant sharpness (mostly at higher volume levels) on snaps and other similar sounds. 2026-01-31T23:41:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswh5tafndw487ax3klwm8aywh7qnps7973qe5zv85sh03a8v6tdcszyz5uewkdrg4agplw0zkh5dmcu89tf2x8xq9scg68s8rm8hwwyrldvuvw9uj 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&#39;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&#39;m the one who isn&#39;t blinded as we tested the Boarder Patrol against my new Schiit Mimir (1/10 the cost of the Boarder Patrol).

But it turns out it doesn&#39;t do bass managemnt. That&#39;s apparently some additional add-on. Bunch of bullshit. My biggest problem with miniDsp is that they outsource their app to Volumio, which really isn&#39;t a full-featured app. To get to the DSP functions, you have to use their software tool that you can only get to through a computer.

There&#39;s no way to bypass the DAC. Not that I believe everything that I see on Audio Science Review (for instance, they seem to hate Volti audio), but the mini SHD DAC does have high ratings. I believe the DAC on one of their other offerings can be bypassed for your own. But if I were going to replace the mini SHD, it would not be with another mini DSP product.

The MiniSHD is my preamp. I bought it partly because of DiracLive which I don&#39;t use. I ended up not liking its changes. I&#39;m using REW and setting my own DSP in the Mini. The Mini feeds the Cary and the Crown. The Cary powers the Belles and the Crown powers the tapped horn sub. The Crown has it&#39;s own DSP, which isn&#39;t being used.

With the Gold Lions compared to the NOS JAN Phillips, there&#39;s some small differences in distortion, most of it near the noise floor. The waterfalls look similar. The frequency plot is highly similar. There are some differences in the top end that we might be hearing that looks a little smoother with the Gold Lions 2025-02-22T18:46:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9j9xcgx9k0t3a6xjta47jw9zvpzfy2uq04gul3rn89v7lpyqplwszyz5uewkdrg4agplw0zkh5dmcu89tf2x8xq9scg68s8rm8hwwyrldvrqw23p In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrme89kvz4ksz7aa6nkajx4pe3d8alr4ycvatvntqy8apge5ap0cqjm5y22'>nevent1q…5y22</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The Gold Lions, so far, are the best. I can&#39;t justify spending more than what I just did for those Russian tubes that are coming from Ukraine. The JJ&#39;s were pretty good. The Gold Lions have more detail and depth of sound stage.

One of the preamp tubes started squealing within weeks. Cary replaced it under warranty. It started squealing again. So I replaced the preamp and phase driver tubes with JJ. Sounds pretty good. I thought it would be fun to tube roll so I got the Genalex Gold Lions and some NOS. Phillips tubes. The Philips sound like the JJ&#39;s. The Gold Lion was one that failed right out of the box.
