I totally agree that the Border Patrol might be exactly what he is looking for.

Would that be because of the NOS nature of the design?

Yes, it is NOS as are the other DACs I have own and liked, but I am not an engineering, so won't say it is because or only because it has a NOS typology. It also has a tube rectified power supply and was designed by one of the most creative and respected designers in the tube audio world. Exactly what contributes to its sound in what ways and to what degrees is perhaps unknowable. What I can say is that as a music lover first and audio enthusiast second, in my system, I hear what the original poster seems to be looking for.
The system (headphone only). FLAC files on Roon nucleus to Windows 10 PC laptop as Roon endpoint to the Border Patrol DAC SEi via USB to Monolith Liquid Platinum headphone amp to Audeze LCD-X cans. I like it so much, I am tempted to get another one for one of my speaker-based systems.
That's my two cents, given freely and worth what you paid for it.

Cool man. I have the Liquid Platinum too and music is all flac but way different playback. Have some Monolith M1060c that I modded and made open back and listen balanced on the Platinum. But these days the cans are Ultrasone Edition 11 and Signature Pro which sadly are single ended though the Edition 11 can be run balanced if I can find the connectors to make a cable. So I am running the Platinum single ended...still sounds great.
I may end up with the border patrol at some point so its great to know its a keeper for you with the platinum.

I had a non-over sampling CD player years ago because I thought it sounded so much better. My ideal DAC would have defeatable over-sampling.
