Have you considered the $2100 Shanling Onix Zenith XST20 SACD/CD Transport? I've had mine for 3 months and it's been amazing. Excellent build quality and it sounds really good. Outputs native DSD via i2s.
Shanling ET3 or Project CD RS2-T CD transport comparison
I'm trying to decide what to purchase and i'm considering the well regarded Shanling ET3 but i'm super curious about the RS2-T transport from Project. These are in totally different price segments and i totally understand but more $$ is not always an indicator of better sound quality.. (But often is :)
Has anyone actually heard both and would care to comment?
I can't audition before i purchase unfortuneatly
thanks!
