| Description: | From Shanling who is famous for their amazing valve CD
Players comes the new CD-T80 which follows in the same
performance footsteps as their other tube CD Players.
While, the Shanling CD T80 is more conventional looking, it
is still of the same solid build and quality, of their other high
end players. Utilizing high-grade components throughout, the
CD-T80 is a joy to listen to and is a true "listening to the
music" experience.
The Shanling CD T-80 comes with switchable upsampling
that allows you to switch between 4.1kHz to 96 kHz – 24 bit.
You can switch sampling frequencies from the remote
control while the CD is playing. The remote control also
features a digital volume control that enables you to connect
the CD-T80 directly to a power amplifier or active speakers,
bypassing the need for a preamplifier
The Burr Brown 1738 chip is one of Burr Browns finest and
one of the more neutral sounding DACs on the market. A
pair of 6N3/5670 triodes provides tube buffering. Measuring
430 X 82 X 370 MM (WHD) and weighing 9 kg this is neither
small nor flimsy with the 5mm thick steel casework finished
to a truly excellent standard. This player sports a transport
mounted in the middle of the player fascia, with a single line
LED display below, a power switch and upsampling LED to
the left and the transport controls, with open/close,
play/pause, stop, back and next controls on the front panel.
Around the rear a single pair of RCA phono analogue outputs
and the coaxial S/PDIF output using the same high quality
connectors as it's big brothers accompany a mains switch
and an IEC mains inlet. The mains switch on the back panel
is the real power switch, with the front switch actually
bringing the player out of standby. In standby mode the player
keeps power flowing to critical audio circuits, only when fully
powered up is power applied to the tube output stage.
The CD-T80 uses a fully encapsulated power transformer,
partnered with the excellent Philips CDM 12.10 transport and
CD 7 MK II servo system as used in the CD-T100. In this
case the transport is itself individually shielded with an
inverted 'U' shaped panel which screws to the chassis,
protecting the player from stray RFI and EMI within the player
and further stiffening the chassis around the transport.
Following the transport is the Crystal Semiconductors
CS8420 upsampling chip and Burr Brown PCM1738 DAC,
with this player having switchable 96/24 upsampling. The
output stage comprises a pair of Burr Brown OPA 2604
opamps followed by a pair of 6N3P dual triode tubes
