Abstract

The article focuses on the Shanling ET3 CD transport, priced at $899, which is designed to address shortcomings found in previous CD transports. It features a Philips SAA7824 CD drive and a Sanyo HD850 laser pickup, supporting various CD formats, including MQA CDs, but not SACD discs. The ET3 is equipped with multiple inputs and outputs, including USB ports, Wi-Fi streaming, and Bluetooth capabilities, and it incorporates an upsampling chip for enhanced audio playback. The author highlights the ET3's solid design, ease of use, and impressive sound quality, comparing it favorably to higher-end models like the TEAC VRDS-701T, while noting its unique vibrancy and detail in audio reproduction.
