Make sure you update the firmware of the DKC850. Not sure which update, but one of them seemed to really help. Also calibrate your system by running the maintenance. I find that my piano (DC3A)- 6'1 Grand) will actually play 95-100% of the notes on level 10 (depending on the number of notes going on or something). With the lid closed, it is pretty quiet (well, as quiet as you can have an acoustical instrument playing). 9 doesn't seem to skip any notes. These pianos are not completely controllable like having a background stereo system going because of the physics of the physical piano. Also depends on the size of the room they are in. I have a friend who has a 7 footer, but they have a VERY large living room and it works really well in that situation. We often have ours playing in the living room while guests are in the family room/kitchen area. Works perfect in that setup as it lends itself to more to the background. I usually run that on a higher volume, with maybe the lid part way up. Good luck! SJ
