Shanling - ET3 Dedicated Digital CD Player & Transport - Silver

The ONIX Zenith XST20 is a high-end SACD/CD transport designed for audiophiles who want the purest disc playback into their favorite external DAC delivering true SACD DSD output premium top-loading build quality and exceptional connectivity—especially for I2S-based high-end systems.FeaturesPlays CD SACD & MQA-CDDoP DSD Output SupportFPGA-Based I2S OutputBuilt for External DACsLow-Noise Stable PlaybackPure Transport-Only DesignTrue SACD Playback with Real DSD OutputThe XST20 is built to unlock the full potential of SACD discs allowing playback in true DSD quality to compatible external DACs. It supports SACD output through I2S for native DSD64 and can also deliver DSD64 via DoP over digital outputs like coaxial optical AES/EBU and BNC (while USB output does not support SACD).Wide DAC Compatibility with 10 I2S Pinout ModesOne of the standout advantages of the Zenith XST20 is its FPGA-assisted I2S output which includes hardware switching across 10 I2S pinout modes. This greatly improves real-world compatibility across the wide variety of I2S-equipped DACs making it far easier to integrate into high-end systems without guesswork.Highly Optimized Disc Drive + Gapless PlaybackThe XST20 uses a precision audiophile-focused transport design to deliver smooth stable playback with seamless track transitions. It supports single-layer SACD multi-layer SACD standard CDs and MQA-CDs with fully gapless playback for uninterrupted album listening.Top-Loading Design with Premium Build QualityDesigned like a true high-end component the XST20 features a top-loading transport approach and premium mechanical construction for reliable operation and consistent disc reading performance. It’s engineered to provide the stable focused signal extraction audiophiles expect from a dedicated disc transport.Full

This high-quality CD player is easy to operate and includes special features like Pure Direct, Intelligent Digital Servo, USB and MP3/WMA/LPCM/FLAC compatibility.

Rewarding PerformanceYou’ve spent years collecting CDs so why not give them the CX sound upgrade too? CXC is a CD transport that’s designed to work with DACs and compatible amps – like our award-winning CXA81. You’ll hear incredible detail from your discs possibly for the first time. CXC breathes new life into CDs – giving you many more years of enjoyment from them.  FeaturesNew CX Black Edition now availableHigh quality audio CD transport for detailed playback of music CDsCustom designed S3 Servo perfect disc speed & error free playback Digital only S/PDIF Coaxial & Optical output for pure digital audio signal  Gapless playback ideal for classical pieces & DJ mixes Acoustically dampened metal chassis isolates components for peak performance Do One Thing WellThere’s a complete purity of purpose to CXC. It’s built to read the digital audio information on CDs with absolute accuracy and consistency. It then passes that signal on to a DAC like our DacMagic 200M or the high-quality DACs found in CX amplifiers. Each component in CXC is focused on performing this task with precision.Precision Driving The disc drive in CXC was originally designed by our engineers for our high-end CD players. The renowned S3 Servo is no multi-purpose disc drive. By spinning audio CDs at the exact speed required for data retrieval it provides CXC with award-winning sonic precision and stability. Let’s Get PhysicalCXC benefits from an acoustically dampened metal chassis. It ensures that external forces don’t interfere with the digital signal. CXC has a choice of S/PDIF digital outputs – one coax the other optical. Pick the one that best suits your DAC be that a standalone unit or one integrated into an amplifier.Comple
