China PRC audio?


A friend of mine is spending some time in China for work.
The only audio store he has seen so far has a display of brand names he's never heard of before - prominent is a display "CAV" - anybody know anything about this ? For all I know it stands for Cash Always Valued. The only chinese brand I am even slightly familiar with is Shanling - while a whole lot of Japenese ,Korean,British,US and others have their stuff made in China - he hasn't seen any of these familiar brands so far.
What chinese brands are worth listening to? My friend does have a preference for 2B's.
BTW - I heard that Shanling has a multi format player that has a digital output for SA/CD and DVD/A format's. Is this so or is it like all the other multi-format players I have seen so far and only outputs redbook CD info out of it's digi outputs.
Thanks for the help.

Check out the Cayin TA-30 here on AudioGon.
Sounds great. Built like a tank. 110 volts. Great price.
