Shanling SCD1.3 Black Hi-Fi CD-soitin

The SCD1.3 shines as a high-end DAC for SACD playback, but has been designed as a multifunctional source component for a variety of hi-fi setups. In addition to SACDs, you can also enjoy playback from local USB drives, convenient Bluetooth streaming or even DLNA, Airplay and NAS support. And while its unbalanced and balanced outputs are the perfect partners for many audiophile amplifiers or active speakers, the included digital inputs can feed even better DACs thanks to the new, advanced I2S support. The SCD1.3 uses the MediaTek ME1389EE system together with the Sanyo HD870 laser in a tray mechanism that takes full advantage of the capabilities of high-resolution SACD discs and is also suitable for standard CDs. And for hybrid SACDs there is a special button for easy switching between SACD and CD layers. The sound tuning of the SCD1.3 is based on the Shanling M9 Plus, with the flagship AKM AK4499EX + AK4191 DAC system at its centre. With the high-precision volume control and the MUSES8920 as preamplifier, the SCD1.3 can be directly coupled with power amplifiers or active speakers for a simple and high-quality 2-channel speaker setup. And if SACD resolution isn't enough, the SCD1.3's Hi-Res capabilities extend up to 32-bit / 768 kHz and DSD512. Connect the SCD1.3 either to a computer via the powerful XMOS XU316 USB input, or connect a USB drive directly to the USB port on the front panel for lossless local playback directly on the SCD1.3.
