Exceptional CD Playback x High-Res Streaming Compatibility with Multiple Sources = Shanling ET3 Digital Transport, Built to Audiophile Spec and Featuring I2/S Output
An exceptional CD transport — and an all-rounder that handles multiple high-res streaming sources, including comparability with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Apple Airplay, DLNA, LDAC, MQA, and USB? Put the Shanling ET3 in your digital chain and experience outrageously good sound and flexibility for a seriously affordable price.
Built to last, the exterior of ET3 is CNC-machined from a single piece of aluminum. Inside, audiophile-minded parts and engineering take hold. A CT7302CL upsampling chip, in-house-developed Ingenic X2000 platform, Sanyo HD850 laster, and Philips SAA7824 drive help deliver stunning fidelity, effortless operation, and peace-of-mind reliability. Smooth, accurate, detailed, and clear, ET3 exemplifies refined performance and gets to the heart of what you want to hear.
On the rear panel, I2/S and USB outputs (up to DSD 512 and 32-bit/768kHz) complement AES/EBU, optical, and coaxial outputs. Looking at ET3 from an overhead view, you’ll see the loader as well as buttons for basic operations. The front panel features a menu knob and IPS 320 x 290 display screen.
Shanling’s Eddict Player app interfaces with Android and iOS, and provides an intuitive interface for handling playback functions via a portable device. Measuring just 2.68 x 7.4 x 10.0 inches (HWD) and weighing 5.5 pounds, ET3 also offers all-to-DSD or all-to-PCM upsampling. All it needs is a small spot near and connection to the DAC of your choice, and you’re off and running.
