Shanling CD players have ranged from high-end models to affordable models. The new EC3 is the latest in the Shanling line of simpler budget offerings. It's an ideal model, designed as a compact CD player, easily fitting onto any desktop or into smaller narrow Hi-Fi racks.
Built around well proven Philips CD80 drive mechanism and HD850 laser head, as a top-loading CD player with a transparent cover. Offering digital outputs in form of coaxial and optical SPDIF, for easy connection to external DACs or receivers. It also packs its own audio circuit, utilizing ESS ES9219C DAC and LTA8092 op-amp through headphone output or RCA, with the option to serve as a pre-amplifier.
But EC3 is not just a simple CD player with few playback buttons. Shanling has added the Ingenic X2000 platform, a practical 1.6-inch screen and their custom-built system, providing further settings and features directly to the player. Allowing it to act as a Bluetooth DAC or serving as a Hi-Res music player by connecting any USB drive with audio files, with additional control through Eddict Player app.
