@myersrbs You should check the I2S set up on the Pontus. It has several modes and you just have to find the correct one… as long that you are using the right cable. I have reports of successful pairing of the 200T and the Pontus.
CD Transport: Shanling ET3 vs SMSL PL200T
I have owned the ET3 since new 11 months ago: sadly I discovered several flaws 1) the lid incorporates the locking magnet making it not just heavier, but it can slip out one's hand crashing to the floor, where mine broke. 2) the remote is pathetically fragile, so far 2 have stopped working. WORSE is the total lack of Shanlings customer support. They will NOT deal direct, customer must get/buy replacement from original POP supplier. Meaning the used market is screwed when/if they have similar issues (not a big deal for desktop users: FYI mine is FS). This led me to looking for a replacement. I bought the SMSL PL200T after reading several excellent reviews. I just connected it yesterday, and at first blush it sounds really good, the remote is sturdier and the top/lid is simple. IMO the lid should be smoked to minimize ambient light penetration ala Shanling. Updates as it breaks in. I just ordered a iFi LPS to see if or how much of an improvement it is. Stay tuned
