With ET3 Shanling continue to build their Shanling line of compact top-loading CD players. While the previous Shanling ET3 was designed to be a sort of multifunctional CD player for a wide range of users, ET3 is a much more focused machine, designed for one clear use – Top-Quality Digital Transport for High-End DACs.
Shanling ET3 offers a range of standard digital outputs, but they have also added more advanced I2S output and even USB output. Allowing for the transport of super High-Res files, above the limits of standard coaxial or optical outputs. ET3 can read these High-Res files from connected USB drives or it can be used alongside your local wireless network and DLNA streaming.
Shanling ET3 combines a Philips CD drive system with a classic Sanyo optical head, alongside a top-loading design for stable and reliable CD playback. Matching the performance of Shanling's legacy CD players they have manufactured for over 30 years.
With support for USB Drive Playback (up to 2TB drives), ET3 adds
full compatibility for High-resolution files, up to PCM 32bit/768kHz
and DSD512. Offering an extremely easy way how to play all the
digital files in a Hi-Fi rig. And thanks to the companion Eddict Player app, the files can be nicely browsed through directly on the phone or tablet. ET3 is ready for the wireless streaming era, with Wi-Fi support for DLNA and Airplay and Bluetooth 5.0. Providing
access to music streaming apps on phones, tablets or computers.
Compact 320x 290 screen with great viewing angles and good brightness. Simple user interface, nicely readable playback information and access to all settings.
ET3 offers a range of standard digital outputs, but its main strength can be found in I²S output and in special USB Data output, which is very unique feature for a CD Player. USB Output: up to PCM 32bit / 768kHz, DSD 512 1²S Output: up to PCM 32bit/768kHz, DSD 512 Coaxial / optical / AES output: up to PCM 32bit/192 kHz, DSD 64
