The Shanling CD-T100 is a refreshing break
from audio dogma. This unit offers the musicality that is
demanded by the strictest of audiophiles while providing astonishing
looks that are sure to be a conversation piece in any room.
The CD-T100 employs the latest in technology from audiophile-grade
companies. Upsampling to 24 bit/96 kHz is performed using
Crystal’s CS8420 sample rate converter. Four high-performance
Burr-Brown PCM1704 chips do the D/A conversion while a second generation
Pacific Microsonics PMD-200 decoder chip is used for HDCD decoding.
As well four 6N3 tubes give the CD-T100 a well-rounded listenability
that is detailed, lively, and, most importantly, musical.
For those of you wanting the most from the CD-T100 we offer matched
pairs of NOS Western Electric 2C51/396A audio tubes.
The addition of the Western Electrics really brings out the best
in this unit.
In our current reference system we've mated the CD-T100 with Blue
Circle BC3 Galatea preamplifier and the recently released BC28 Hybrid
amplifier. The results are audio nirvana! For package
pricing involving either or both of the Blue Circle components please
