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:

@mofojo : what’s a cheaper China transport that costs much less and sounds the same as the Shanligr-Jana transport? It must be one

$729 for a China transport. Is that cheap or expensive? I honestly don’t know 

Just wondering how would this compare to alternatives out there in that price range. Say $1,000 (plus / minus $500). Audiolab (6000, 7000, 9000 CDTs), Cambridge.... what else ?

@creativepart : that’s funny 😂😂.

Who pushes a button elven times? Total hardship! 🤯😉
