Looks nice for the price compared to the competition by Cambridge, Audiolab and Pro-Ject.
In a interesting sort of way it reminds me of an ’upgraded’ portable CD player with much better chassis and internals.
I like it.
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:

The Shanling ET3 CD transport looks more impressive than I initially thought with a cnc machined case, Philips transport w/ Sanyo laser, and hi-res digital output. https://en.shanling.com/article-IntroET3.html
