Shanling ET-3 owners - a couple of questions, please

My Audiolab 6000CDT ate a CD and would not give it back through the slot . . . without some major coaxing by me.

The ET-3 is getting great press and scuttlebutt.  But I'm trying to see how the ET-3 would work for me . . . and I'm finding zero info about the remote and whether it has track numbers so that an owner can jump from track to track on a CD.

Related, does the ET-3 allow an owner to program selected tracks before playing a CD?

Mundane and old-school questions, I realize I'm asking, but I wouldn't want to buy a new CD transport and not know. . . .

Your real-world advice is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, the remote control is the worst part of the ET-3. There are no track numbers, and it's hard to quickly skip through tracks. The remote needs to pointed exactly at the spot or it won't work. 

There is no programing function. You can shuffle, repeat track or whole CD. 

I've learned to live with no using the remote. I just put in a CD and play it in full.

What i love about about the ET3 is that fact it can upsample up to DSD 512 through the i2S output. I use it this way into a Holo May KTE, and it's wonderful.
