Anybody own Shanling CD player?

I have wondered the same thing. It offers a LOT of circuitry for the money i.e. your selection of either tube or SS output sections along with HDCD decoding. That thing looks so "cool" that you could literally use the chassis and modify the hell out of the circuitry if need be. If i had a money tree growing in the back yard.... Sean

Ljgj, too bad it's not that simple. I would become a lumberjack if it was : ) I also agree about the sonics of these. If they aren't that hot, we'll start seeing them on this and similar websites soon enough. I'm typically pretty conservative on what i buy but this one may be different. That's not to say that i think it is / would be the finest piece ever made even if modified.

Wendell, how much time did you spend with this unit ? I take it that you were strictly running the tube output rather than the SS ? What did the SS side sound like ? Sean

Thanks for the info. I'm sure i could find this info out on somebody's website, but does this unit upsample ? I think that it does, but i can't remember. Sean
