• I²S / Optical / Coaxial / AES/EBU / USB digital outputs
• Bluetooth 5.0 with LDAC, AAC, and SBC support
• Based on the Ingenic X2000 platform & remote control
• CNC-machined metal chassis (25.5 cm x 18.8 cm)
• All-to-DSD or All-to-PCM upsampling function

Compact and convenient digital CD transport

The Shanling ET3 is based on the same design as the EC3, features a CNC-machined metal chassis, and measures just 18.8 x 25.5 x 6.8 cm. Its dimensions are smaller than an A4 sheet of paper.

The Shanling ET3 is designed as an open-CD player. Black and gray tempered glass is used for the CD cover, giving it an extremely elegant and high-quality appearance.

Unveil the true sound

The Shanling ET3 is one of the few CD transports on the market that supports MQA CDs. It supports the unfolding of MQA Core files and the full unfolding of MQA via the I²S output with a decoder. The Shanling ET3 also supports MQA Full Decoder to independently expand MQA CDs and MQA files.

USB output up to 768 kHz/32-bit, DSD512;

I²S output up to 768 kHz/32-bit, DSD512;

coaxial / optical / AES output up to PCM 192 kHz / 32-bit, DSD 64.

*For the I²S interface, please refer to the manual for the cable sequence.

The Heart of the Lion

The Shanling ET3 uses the powerful Ingenic X2000 dual-core chip. This chip is the first Xburst2-based chip, which not only significantly improves computing power but also enables low latency at startup. The ET3 supports dual-band Wi-Fi and multiple playback methods (ALNA, AirPlay, NAS). It is equipped with the CT7302CL upscaling chip, which can handle both “All to DSD” and “All to PCM” conversions. Additionally, the Philips SAA7824 CD drive ensures very stable performance.

The ET3 features a 320×290 full-view LCD display on the front panel.

On the back of the ET3 are a USB audio output, an optical digital output, a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna, a power switch, and more.
