New, Very Interesting CD Transport

@alexberger

Thanks your 411 is very helpful. I may still get one if the price is right. FYI my digital connection is coax and my Audio Alchemy DDP -1 + PS 5 dac/pre is old. it still sounds amazing

@creative Thank you too. Bummer that it doesn’t read DSD I have a lot of them. So it's no longer on my radar

Hi @creativepart

ET-3 Plays DSD from USB memory and does it great!

I can use PCM oversampling though coaxial. But don’t need oversampling. My DAC has AKM AK4191 that is built to work with AKM 4499 DAC chip and does oversampling job better then ET-3. But I prefer not oversampling mode of AKM 4499.

And cable quality matters! My $1000 NBS coaxial SPDIF cable overperforms any $100 I2S cable that I have by a big margin!

I was talking about USB output not inputs from USB sticks/drives. I have no idea of it's capabilities other than playing CDs.

Hi @creativepart 

I agree with you that ET3 is a good audio device and a great value for money. But we use a different set of features. 

So, please clear it up for me does the ET3 play DSD via coax outs?
