| New, Very Interesting CD Transport If ET-3 plays CD and upsamples it do PCM you can use I2S or Coaxial outputs. However, S/PDIF outputs only support up to 24/192. I emailed Shanling Tech Support about upsampling via the USB output of the transport and they responded that it was... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport I was talking about USB output not inputs from USB sticks/drives. I have no idea of it's capabilities other than playing CDs. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport I use my ET-3 plugged in via I2S into my Holo Audio Spring3 KTE DAC using a run of the mill HDMI cable. It sounds great. I like the I2S sound quality over using USB. I even like S/PDIF over the USB output. I've never had any skipping nor any CDs ... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport How long did your Shanling ET3 transport break-in take? I don't feel qualified to respond to this. I don't pay much attention to break in times. I just listen to music. I can't say with any authority that it sounds better now than the day I got... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Well, two-days is not much time to get anything comprehensive but the Spring 3 is a great sounding DAC, so far. I too had a Qutest for 4 or so years. I really liked it. But I wanted to move up to the next level. There were 4 or 5 choices that app... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Circling back on this topic of the Shanling ET-3 Transport. I changed DACs this weekend from the Chord Hugo TT2 to the Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE. This provides more input choices for the ET-3 AND more upsampling options, as well. Using the I2S outp... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport I'm still enjoying the Shanling ET-3 BUT... I'm a bit disappointed in the USB output options. In S/PDIF coax or optical you can use the transport's upsampling to 192hz. Withe I2S you can upsample to 768hz or even DSD512. But with USB upsampling is... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport First, I’m not a fan of MQA. I tried it with Tidal and a MQA capable DAC when it first came out. I ended up thinking it was not a good thing. It did sound different, I suppose at one time I thought it was better or maybe just different. But after ... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Just circling back after a month with the Shanling ET3... I"m not missing the Jay's CDT2-MK3 at all. This unit sounds great and is a joy to live with. NOTE: I'm still just using it as a CD transport. I've not attempted to use it as a streamer nor... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport dumb question, how do you select, say track no, 12 out of 15 songs from the remote ? Is a universal remote control with numeric keypad works with ET3? You put the CD on and listen to the 11 songs - as in listen to the entire CD. Just like LPs... | |
| Network/Ethernet Improvements Suggestions I kind of know how you feel. I always think there's better sound out there. But not sure there is. My system is somewhat similar to yours TP-Link Router to Netgear GS105 consumer switch (it's supposed to be a good one) with ifi power wart. Wired ... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Does the Shanling ET-3 CD transport play gaplessly? I obviously does with my CDs, To be sure, I pulled out DSOM and it sounds great on the ET-3. No pauses inserted. I haven't attempted to use the device as a streamer so I can only go by what o... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport CORRECTION - I've been calling the transport the "EC3" but it's actually called the ET3 not EC3. In fact, I think Shanling makes a full CD Player with the EC3 name. Sorry for the error. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Can you cancel oversampling in your Shanling EC3 transport? Well, I found a setting in the menu that suggests that it can upsample CDs. But it definitely has a "Bypass" setting that shows 16/44.1 output. It’s kind of confusing figuring out the... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Can you cancel oversampling in your Shanling EC3 transport? It is important to any Chord DAC that has its own oversampling processing algorithm. It is non-oversampling for CD Playback. When using it as a WiFi streamer I know you can stream hig... |
