Greetings! Am obviously a new member and thus this post. I live in southeastern USA and am 56 years "mature" though my spousal unit often asks if I am forever 12. I grew a love for audio as a teenager when I was too poor to really dream of owning a turntable and I spent hours of time on weekends in various stereo stores admiring all the nice stuff. This way back when even smaller cities actually had stereo stores!

So fast forward.. I had a decent system, for 2 ch sound in the late 1980s which I eventually sold for a HT system which after my son was grown I sold and went back to 2 ch sound. Current gear is:

SST Thoebe II Preamp
SST Son of Ampzilla II Amp
Philharmonic Audio Phil 3 speakers
Esoteric K-07 Dac/CD player
Atoll MS-100 music streamer

am currently looking for a different DAC, seeking something that has a more full emotional calling. Thus searching through this site!

Welcome to the forum! That’s some great gear you have👍 I bought the Border Patrol SE dac based on some good comments here. 16/44 is just fine with me when it’s as musical and enjoyable as this dac plays. Certainly a better dac than my previous Antelope Gold
Orchard Starkrimson Ultra amp
Supratek Chardonnay preamp
JMR Voce Grande speakers
Border Patrol SEi dac
Holo Red streamer
Hapa Aero digital coax
WyWires Silver cables
TWL Digital American II p cord
Audio Envy p cords
Roon, Tidal, Qobuz
PI Audio UberBUSS

Welcome to the herd!

44.1/16 NOS DACs fill the bill as do higher rate R2R Dacs.  They make music not bags and bags of detail...

YMMV
