Shanling ET3 or Project CD RS2-T CD transport comparison

Only the ET3, which can sound amazing, BUT... the remote is extremely fragile and takes 3++ weeks to get replacement (so far 2 have hit the floor and no longer work). Also, the lid is unnecessarily complex with the magnetic puck built it. Similar story, but amazing for desktop. FYI, I am selling mine, replacing it with SMSL PL200T

HTH

 The big question is what actual CD drive are they using? You may find it’s the same one wrapped in a different case. There are not many companies making CD drives anymore.

I can't imagine the Project being any better that the excellent Shanling. I love mine never had a issue with the remote or the lid. 

Rather than either transport, are you open to change direction to a streamer/server?  I have found SQ better than playing discs.  Qobuz will have most of your library available.  If there is a record not available, you can burn and save in the server.  A used Aurender N100h will be between the cost of your listed transports and a used N150 at the cost of a new Project.   That is where I would spend my money.  I love the convenience is streaming and a library.  Any album or song is a couple of phone clicks away … with better SQ.
