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 just think when a person relatively new to the hobby asks a question and a member inevitably comes on as all knowing, at least he should post pictures of his system so the noobie has an idea of his frame of reference.

+100... spot on

this comment should be the headline of the other thread about frequent posters showing their systems

@jetter First, I never said I was “all knowing” so you can just save that utter crap. All I try to do is get as good of an idea as possible about what an OP is really looking for and then share whatever experience I have through what I’ve heard and/or read if I think it might be helpful in some way. That’s it. I don’t profess to be “right” when making recommendations because that’s just arrogant and stupid. Many people have messaged me over the years that they really appreciated my thoughts and found them very helpful, which is all that matters to me while your and @lordrootman opinions mean virtually nothing.

But, you make a good point about my system not being listed listed here so I took care of that oversight just now — pictures to follow whenever I get around to it.

not sure what is being argued here...

@soix is a long time contributor, gives plenty of useful advice and is always careful to ask for enough info from those seeking advice before he gives it... to me, it is a ’best practice’ among those who frequent this site to share their views

as is being covered in another thread, it is useful when folks giving advice also share their experience level... the systems page can do that, or, for those who care to check, everyone’s past posts are right there to be seen with a few clicks

as usual, more transparency is better than less among users here, more experience is better than less in this pursuit, and on this forum where advice is sought and given both givers and recipients of advice or input should seek and provide clarity
