Shanling CD-Player-any experiences?

[Hoffi]

I´m interested in a Shanling CD-Player (CD T100, CD T200). Great design and also some very good reviews. Anybody out there with some experience?

I own a CDT 100C and I think it's a wonderful sounding player, especially after replacing the stock tubes with WE396s. It has smooth highs, a well developed yet not forward midrange an a very solid bottom. It is very clear and high resolution even in standard mode.I think the 24bit 96khz upsampling settings make it a bit too bright for my system.

The Shanling is also a joy to behold. Ear candy and eye candy at the same time.

Thank you Dr.JRapp!
Yes, it looks really great and I think it offers good value for the price. Can´t decide between the T100 and T200. I heard that it sounds far better than the T100...
Have the chance to buy a T200 for 1700€. Mmhh-should I?

You might want to search the archives on the Audio Asylum Digital forum. A number of people posted about having issues getting service when things when wrong with their players.

I WOULD be very careful if you are overseas. Here in the US Shanling is imported and servied by Music Hall, Inc. (some of the MH brand players are actually shanling). I have also read that the 100 sounds better on redbook CDs than the 200. Go figure!!!!
