Mine is running nearly 24/7 these days. FLAC files through the Bryston BDA-2 are amazing. I'm getting reacquainted with a lot of old friends (redbook type).

Maybe if you lived in a place like Cabo or maybe it is the Tequila that draws -E-

Yes, we know what makes -E- tick. Aside from music, I'm pretty well aligned with Emile in the gastronomic sense.

You may have the edge in audio gear, but I'll go toe to toe with you in a gastronomy shootout! Win or lose, everyone wins there!

See the added pic. Sadly, no wine - not allowed. With any luck the Silenzio goes live this week.

Default Any SilenZio Owners Using a Small Display?

I originally purchased a 21" monitor for my Silenzio, which was great during the marathon ripping process, but now I'd prefer a smaller display. Has anyone had success with one of the smaller 10" to 15" portable displays on the market? My requirements are 1080 resolution (1080p preferred) and HDMI.

I have ordered a "touch mouse" for use with my Silenzio as I find most of the time these days I'm just wanted to walk up and click on JRiver to start a playlist or do something similar. Of course the rest of the time I use the JRemote but I do find times that I want to do things directly in JRiver itself.

How many of us (SilenZionistas) are there now??

Steve, I am still in the 21" monitor phase. I considered trying to figure out how to use my Lenovo Yoga tablet, which is a touch screen and runs Windows, but then decided that would be a hassle. I will probably just use JRemote, which thus far has been pretty user friendly.
