Although the Madison streamer and amplifier were primarily auditioned as a pair, I also evaluated each component independently. Compared with my BorderPatrol DAC, the Madison Streamer offered greater resolution and more precise image placement. Bass was tighter, though not necessarily deeper, while the BorderPatrol produced a warmer, fuller low end. The BorderPatrol’s prominent second-harmonic character imparted a lush presentation, whereas the Madison streamer sounded cleaner and more neutral. While I generally preferred the Madison’s accuracy, I continued to enjoy the BorderPatrol’s overtly musical voicing.
