New, Very Interesting CD Transport

On John Darko's website today we learn of the brand new Shanling ET3 CD Transport. And for $729 USD it looks really capable. Top loading with Philips SAA7824 drive. AES/EBU, coaxial, TOSLINK and I2S digital outputs. Plus Wifi and Bluetooth. USB to connect to a external HD and built in upsampling, too. It even will output digital to USB for connection to a DAC but not with upsampling.

Here's the skinny:

So reading the specs on this thing it appears to be a streamer with a disc drive as it supports:

Playback from USB Drive

-        2.4G/5G Wi-Fi with DLNA/Airplay support

-        Bluetooth 5.0 input  with LDAC, AAC and SBC support

So a CD transport but more it looks like a solid value Shanling has been building disc spinners for quite a few years now.
