I wish my auditory neurons were cardboard like Jason's. Would have saved me a lot of money. My system is highly resolving and can make grown men cry. I have used multiple CD transports and though the differences are not always huge, none of the sounded the same. Kinda like giving a pitmaster a rack of ri s and a backyard grill hack one. When done, they should taste the same cause they were both racks of ribs.
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
On John Darko's website today we learn of the brand new Shanling ET3 CD Transport. And for $729 USD it looks really capable. Top loading with Philips SAA7824 drive. AES/EBU, coaxial, TOSLINK and I2S digital outputs. Plus Wifi and Bluetooth. USB to connect to a external HD and built in upsampling, too. It even will output digital to USB for connection to a DAC but not with upsampling.
Here's the skinny:
