Shanling cd player CDT-100 Tube CD player - £1650

"This player was quite simply a revelation ...build quality and presentation ...incredible for the price ...this is an audiophile CD player that can take on the £3000 one box players"
Hi-Fi News, Jan 03

One of the most exciting products introduced in quite a while! The Shanling tubed CD player offers the perfect marriage between high-end industrial design and audio technology. Sure to please both sonically and aesthetically. Very elegant and with sound to match their great looks. This player has proved to be reliable, well built and possessing a natural sonic character with slightly forward midband.

Stunning looks are not the only thing going for this CD player. It has an extremely open sound and ultra-wide soundstaging capabilities. The tubes featured in this player will breathe new life into your CD collection allowing you to listen for hours and hours. Also decodes HDCD and can upsample conventional redbook CD's.

The Shanling CDT-100 Tube CD player has several special features. It has a unique appearance and is one of the first tube CD players. It is fitted with an elegant open-top disc drive unit; the entire drive system housing is custom made of heavy-duty aluminum alloy and uses a Phillips 1201 bare head mechanism with improved CD7 II servo circuitry.

Four separate metal shields are fitted to the analog, digital filter and tube power modules. The propriety circuitry incorporates a high-quality Microsoft Pacific Microsonics PMD 200 HDCD processor chip, a Crystal CS 8420 sample-rate converter chip, an OAP 2604 high fidelity amplifier and four Burr-Brown PCM 1704 D/A chips. In addition the CDT-100 incorporates the latest technology for fine-tuning tonal balance.

The analog circuitry is built around the 6N3 tube for both headphone and tube outputs.
The unique blend of a 24-bit/96kHz signal coupled with tube technology gives the CDT-100 a very natural sonic character.
