I've inquired about a tryout period with no-hassle returns. I may give it a go.
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
On John Darko's website today we learn of the brand new Shanling ET3 CD Transport. And for $729 USD it looks really capable. Top loading with Philips SAA7824 drive. AES/EBU, coaxial, TOSLINK and I2S digital outputs. Plus Wifi and Bluetooth. USB to connect to a external HD and built in upsampling, too. It even will output digital to USB for connection to a DAC but not with upsampling.
Here's the skinny:

Well, no. I just bought the one remaining silver version at MusicTeck, and the black one had been sold out for some time. Can't wait to see how this pairs with my Pro-Ject DAC Box RS2. I wanted to buy the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T CD Transport to match but the website says it's "temporarily" unavailable in the United States. Audio Advisor has the black model in stock but not the silver version.

I truly believe that some listener's brains can't discern the difference sonic outputs from different pieces of equipment, cables, power conditioning, etc. Some of us can tell differences in the sonic signatures of various components. And of those of us who can tell sonic differences there is a range of being able to discern these differences.
I don't for a new York millisecond begrudge those listeners whose ears don't resolve differences in equipment. In turn, those who can't resolve sonic differences between audio kit need to quit harassing those of us who can. |
