| Shanling ET-3 owners - a couple of questions, please Today an ET-3 was put into use. My DAC only has a USB connection and wanted to once again listen to CD’s. Best my system has ever sounded. The sound stage opened up. Was pretty centralized. The remote is as basic as a remote can be. But I am pr... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I listened to a Topping E70 (AKM4499EX) at friend’s house. One very well may end up in my system. Would replace my Cary Xciter. | |
