@qbitstate Tthe CD BOX has had significant reliability problems so you might want to look into that further. That said, I remember someone saying they had an issue with the Shanling too that’s probably worth a look as we. . Just FYI.
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:
