Shanling CT90 CD Transport

Connect the Shanling CT90 to Practically Any I2S DAC and Experience High-End CD Performance: CD Transport Also Doubles as a No-Frills Streamer That Supports DSD512, 768kHz PCM, and MQA

Purity, reliability, and extreme quiet converge in the Shanling CT90. Measuring just 3.58 x 11.02 x 9.05 inches (HWD), this high-end CD transport is designed to maximize the detail and dynamics you enjoy from your disc collection while doubling as a no-frills streamer. Anchored by an SAA7824 servo and DA11 disc drive, it bypasses Wi-Fi connectivity and built-in DACs to streamline its focus on audiophile playback. A top-loading drive with dedicated CD pick and tiltable CD cover underlines its ease of operation. Ditto its supplied remote control. Elegant looks and 4.8-inch display screen will help make it a showpiece of your system. 

Complete with an I2S output with FPGA that offers 10 different output modes to practically guarantee compatibility with the I2S DAC of your choice, CT90 features two AES/EBU digital outputs for use with active speakers and a standard coaxial S/PDIF output. The versatile connectivity extends to a USB output, Bluetooth input with aptX HD codec for wireless streaming, and a clock input for linking to an external master clock. If you use Shanling’s Eddict app as the control, CT90 invites you to play high-res files via its dedicated USB input that interfaces with computers. Full support for lossless up to DSD512 and 768kHz PCM comes standard, as does all-encompassing MQA ability. 

Inside, a linear power supply with a 35W transformer and high-precision 45MHz and 49MHz clocks ensure extraordinarily low jitter and tremendous accuracy. And with its upsampling CT702 chipset, it can further shape the signal for premium delivery to any DAC. For proof, just consult the measured specs that include enviable THD+N ratings.
