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...

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... 
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 ...

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...

I received my Shanling EC3 yesterday. So, it’s nowhere near broken in yet. I’ve been playing it no more than 2 hours. I should have run it all night on mute, but forgot to. First impressions... well made, nice form factor, easy quick start for CD...

am considering the Jay’s CDT2-MK3. " It is really as good as everyone says. I kind of got carried away. I bought the Cambridge CXC locally for $250 and really liked it. So naturally I had to try the Audiolab 6000CDT. It too sounded really good ...

I have one on order for delivery on Tuesday or Wednesday. I’ll report back then. By the way... I’ve owned a Cambridge Audio CXC, an Audiolab 6000CDT and a Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 in the past year. So, it will be interesting to see how this sounds. ... 
Upgraded from Node to 432-evo-aeon-music-server and its another world sonically
The retailer should never have requested that the OP post a review here. This is sleazy - the retailer should know that. Perception is a powerful consideration and in this case I don't trust the review knowing it was retailer prompted. Besides, ... 
Streaming through upconverting DAC - can I even improve audio quality?
But here's the thing:  so far, just using free Spotify 44.1 redbook quality, Where did you get that info? It's totally incorrect. Spotify doesn't offer any redbook ouput. They have nothing but lossy streaming at a max of 320kbs. And the free se...
