Small CD player

The 47Labs Shigaraki 4715 is indeed very small (3 x 3.15 x 3.15 inches), but you may have to find place for its separate power unit behind the stand or shelf, then

The same goes for the transport btw.

To get a better idea of sizes, look up Srajan's review on 6moons, there is a picture with the 4 boxes sitting on one shelf

The Teac PD-H300mkIII CD player is 8.5" wide x 12" deep x 3.75" high.

anyone have any experiences with the Cal Labs transports? thoughts?

If you must have SACD, a compact unit will be hard to find.

Shanling has a small one.
