New, Very Interesting CD Transport

Hi @creativepart

ET-3 Plays DSD from USB memory and does it great!

I can use PCM oversampling though coaxial. But don’t need oversampling. My DAC has AKM AK4191 that is built to work with AKM 4499 DAC chip and does oversampling job better then ET-3. But I prefer not oversampling mode of AKM 4499.

And cable quality matters! My $1000 NBS coaxial SPDIF cable overperforms any $100 I2S cable that I have by a big margin!

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

Hi @creativepart 

I agree with you that ET3 is a good audio device and a great value for money. But we use a different set of features. 

So, please clear it up for me does the ET3 play DSD via coax outs?

Hi @tweak1 

If ET-3 plays DSD files from the USB memory - both USB and I2S output work.

If ET-3 plays CD and upsamples it do DSD you can use I2S output only.

If ET-3 plays CD and upsamples it do PCM you can use I2S or Coaxial outputs.
