Shanling SCD3.3 SACD Player

Digital Precision and Clarity X Analog Warmth and Emotionalism = Top-Loading Shanling SCD3.3 SACD Player with 12AT Tube Output Stage, R2R DAC Technology, and I2S Output

Close the gap between digital precision, clarity, and transparency and analog warmth, emotionalism, and presence with the Shanling SCD3.3 SACD/CD player. Anchored by a 12AT7 tube output stage, dual 66W transformer power supply, and R2R DAC technology, this audiophile machine plays music with ravishing immediacy, liveliness, and naturalism. It’s what your disc collection has been waiting for. 

Offering elegant and ease by way of a pop-up top-loading mechanism, SCD3.3 boasts a cutting-edge HD850 drive compatible with SACDs, CDs, and MQA discs. Its DAC employs super-accurate 0.01% resistors while dual R30 transformers supply a combination of high-end stability and clean power. Once you hear SCD3.3 in action, there’s no turning back. Its engineering and build quality establish a threshold that will have you listening for hours on end. 

Like any modern device should, SCD3.3 comes prepared to sync with practically any audio setup. On the smartly arranged back panel, a pair of balanced XLR outputs abets a pair of RCA outputs. An FPGA-assisted I2S output with 10 pinout modes for native DSD transport, USB output, and coaxial outputs cover the digital bases — while USB DAC and coaxial inputs expand the flexibility. Turning to the beautiful front, you’ll see the tubes on the left, a five-inch touchscreen with intuitive interface, a USB input, and basic control buttons.

Need more options? SCD3.3 welcomes USB drive playback and provides pre-out/line-out modes. Ditto Bluetooth 5.0 with LDAC, aptX HD, AAC, and SBC. Factor in the robust 10kg aluminum chassis, complementary support feet, and Shanling’s reputation for extraordinary sonics, and whether or not to audition SCD3.3 is a foregone conclusion.
