Take Compact to a Whole New Level: Unobtrusive Shanling EC3 CD Player Provides Audiophile-Quality Dynamics and Smoothness, Features Philips Drive and Sanyo Laser, and Doubles as a High-Res USB Hub
Smaller than a piece of A4 paper and able to fit alongside desktop systems and bedroom setups, as well as easily in a rack configuration, the Shanling EC3 CD player brings old-school high-end playback for listeners accustomed to modern lifestyles. Adorned with a top-loading mechanism, transparent cover, and compact display, EC3 serves as a reliable go-to component wherever you want clean, dynamic, detailed music — including those times you want to listen in private.
Measuring just 2.68 x 7.40 x 10.04 inches (HWD) and weighing a scant 5.29 pounds, EC3 packs quite the proverbial punch when it comes to technology and sound. True to its reputation as a digital-audio powerhouse, Shanling ensured EC3 leverages audiophile-quality parts throughout. A Philips CD80 drive system with a Sanyo HD850 laser head results in stable, error-free reading of your discs. A dual-core X2000 processor accounts for smoothness, quickness, and stellar user interface. An ESS ES9219C DAC delivers warmth and naturalism, while Panasonic tantalum-polymer capacitors and an LTA8092 op-amp further confirm this unit’s commitment to addictive performance.
EC3 is also more than a serious CD player. Connect any USB drive to it via its front-panel USB port and get high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256. Switch EC3 to Bluetooth mode and stream from your phone or tablet in LDAC Bluetooth via the built-in Bluetooth 5.0 input. And take advantage of the gold-plated RCA output that hooks up to active speakers; you can control the volume right on the CD player itself. Speaking of control: EC3 can be operated via Shanling’s Eddict app for intuitive operation for both CD and USB playback. Last but not least, a front-panel 3.5mm headphone output awaits your ‘phones.
