From their website:

Natural,
sweet, open and organic are not words usually used to describe digital
electronics but those were the design goals for the BorderPatrol DAC.
Too many digital audio products sound processed, unnatural and
un-involving and this is particularly true of many of the new generation
of hi-resolution delta-sigma DAC's.

The
BorderPatrol DAC uses a R2R DAC chip with no over-sampling and no
digital filtering fed from a very sophisticated choke input, tube
rectified power supply to produce one of the most natural, 'un-digital'
sounds it is possible to hear.
Many owners have said this is the
first DAC that they can listen to for long periods without irritation or
fatigue and that lets them emotionally connect to digital music for the
first time.
Several vinyl diehards are now happily streaming and playing CD's after previously giving up on digital audio.
This
relatively low cost DAC is equally at home in affordable audio systems
or in esoteric systems such as the BorderPatrol/Volti/Triode wire labs
systems costing tens of thousands of dollars that it frequently finds
itself in at audio shows.

All
things considered and in the grand scheme of DAC's, this makes the
BorderPatrol DAC SE a very special character and one I recommend you
give more than an ear. If you're anything like me, or Herb Reichert who
remains one of my favourite writers (and people) your ears, heart and
mind may tell you the same thing--- Julie Andrews be damned! This is the
sound of music!
Michael Lavorgna, Twittering Machines

"Herb, you must love
this new outlier DAC that turns its back on heavy-handed,
digital-sounding digital and, instead, delivers refined, human-sounding
musical pleasures—at a very reasonable price." If your right brain
dominates and your romantic heart throbs, I highly recommend the DAC SE.

Herb Reichert, Stereophile.

This
little BorderPatrol DAC is a stunning success when it comes to
achieving the design goals of sounding natural, sweet, open and organic.
If you quit listening critically and just enjoy the performance, I
think like me, you will discover that this DAC allows a degree of
emotional involvement that you just don't get from even some of the most
expensive digital devices.

Jack Roberts, The Audio Beatnik

"In many respects, the DAC SE is a digital cousin to my Denon DL-103R and Ortofon SPU phono cartridges. I’m a proud owner of both, and now of the DAC SE. I encourage you to seek out an audition because you may become an owner of this bargain-priced DAC too."
Mark Blackmore, The Audio Beat

'I
cheerfully confess that this DAC has been the most entertaining thing
to hit my rack in years. The performance easily earns the BorderPatrol
DAC SE an Editor’s Choice award, but also puts it firmly into Best of
the Year territory. An absolute must-listen.'
