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...

I was talking about USB output not inputs from USB sticks/drives. I have no idea of it's capabilities other than playing CDs.

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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.

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...

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...
