Thanks, the LPS into the NUC is an interesting idea, and something I hadn't really considered.
And honestly, I don't really have complaints about the NUC -> Border Patrol setup, I was more curious if there were 'more veils to be lifted'.
As a very happy Border Patrol owner, I'm super familiar with those Stereophile measurements. I'm *also* a Benchmark DAC owner, and I've spent a year with both DACs in the system (going back and forth), and honestly, I just like how the Border Patrol sounds better.
What's wrong with some sweet lies, when enjoyment, not scientific measurement, is the end goal :)
