Shanling ET3 or Project CD RS2-T CD transport comparison

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.  

I know that this is not what you asking...Just to complicate things for you, I love my Cambridge CXC transport. I was looking at the Shanling ET3 because I liked the simplicity of the top loading as opposed to the drawer style. But I kept reading how the Cambridge transport performed, so I went for it. I wish I could have heard them side-by-side, but for the same money, I know I can get the Cambridge repaired if needed. And the sound is great!

My 2 cents...

I don't own the ET3 but have had multiple, significant reliability issues with Shanling's SCD1.3 soon after I purchased it. Shanling had little interest in helping me resolve those issues.

If you do a search, reliability issues have been a problem for Shanling over the decades.
