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!

Dang! I was certain this forum has ET-3 owners (some of whom praise the transport).

Where are y'all?

Thank you, campo007 and vinylvalet!  Your kind advice is precisely what I needed to see.  Guess we can understand why Shanling made it next-to-impossible to know how their remote controls look and work.

I wound up buying a Primare CD31 in near-mint condition.  (Yes, old, and yes, I've seen the reasonable comments about not buying CD players/transports with worn-out lasers.  So far, the sound I'm hearing is A-OK and then some . . . best ever in my HiFi Room.)

Thanks again, y'all, Chaz

Yes, you are the audiogoner I was trying to remember in my initial post, especially because you also enjoyed the Audiolab 6000CDT.

Thank you for pursuing this thread,
