I purchased a Silk Silver. It is without a doubt one of the best available. I have not compared it to the new Shunyata Denali line but it does not suck the life out of my system. Consider the number of years that Lukas, while working for another company, had, in developing this product. And if you have heard or own a Lampizator DAC, you can bet that this product was developed using a Silk in Lukas's system.
