Not being able to replace the fuse if it blows without voiding warranty is nonsense.
Not being able to upgrade the fuse be a deal breaker is just as crazy.
Fuse is not what makes the transport better. It’s the quality of parts, clock and power supply (SMPS vs. LPS).
Get a good transport and stop worrying about what fuse is inside.
Shanling ET3 transport: anyone changed or upgraded the fuse
I'd been planning on getting a Shanling ET3 transport. I have a Bel Canto CD3t already and have heard very significant improvements and change in sound character by using different fuses (slugs). I didn't see a fuse holder on the back of the Shanling so contacted MusicTeck about this and received the following message they got from Shanling: "Fuse is inside and would require complete disassembly of the device, voiding any warranty". So far, this has been a deal-breaker for me. Just wondering if anyone has opened up this transport and can comment on the difficulty of swapping out the fuse? Thank you.
