omg! - my wife and daughter just left me alone for a while, so this is the first chance I've had at "proper listening levels" with the Silenzio. Unbelievable - listening to a ripped cd that sounds as good, if not better somehow, than the CD itself (even when it was played through the mega buck DP900/DC901 combo).

I spent the afternoon with tedeschi trucks and the silenzio, at proper listening levels. Just amazing - quiet when it should be quiet and every detail and nuance otherwise. Biggest bang for the audio buck I can imagine. Stunning sound, aside from the value, but if you consider the price, it's just amazing.
