SCD3.3
Proprietary Disc System | 24-bit R2R DAC Architecture | Pair of 12AT7 Vacuum Tubes | Top-Loading Disc Mechanism | 5-inch Touchscreen Control | PCM 768kHz, DSD512
Advanced Disc Mechanism | Proprietary SACD System & HD850 Drive
The in-house developed system allows the SCD3.3 to deliver the full quality of SACD discs, routing true DSD audio to its internal DAC and digital outputs.
True DSD Digital Output
Featuring FPGA-assisted I2S output with 10 selectable modes, providing native DSD output to a wide range of compatible I2S DACs. DoP DSD64 is also supported via coaxial SPDIF output.
MQA-CD Compatible
Acts as a full decoder, supporting 4x unfolded playback of MQA-CDs.
SACD & CD Compatibility
Supports standard CDs, SACDs and hybrid discs, with fast switching between CD and SACD layers.
Second-Generation R2R Platform | 212 × 0.01% Ultra-Precision Resistors
The SCD3.3 features a second-generation in-house R2R DAC design, using 212 ultra-precision 0.01% resistors. The 24-bit architecture combines a 19-bit R2R ladder with a 4-bit compensation system and a differential push-pull design for improved linearity and accuracy.
12AT7 Tube Output | Smooth, Rich Analogue Character
Continuing Shanling’s long history of tube CD players, the SCD3.3 incorporates a pair of 12AT7 tubes into the analogue output stage for both RCA and XLR outputs, delivering a smooth and natural presentation.
The 12AT7 tubes are designed by renowned audio engineer Dr Cai Hongren and manufactured by Beijing Electron Tube Factory, with careful matching and testing for each unit.
OPA1612 Low-Pass Filter | MUSES8920 Output Stage
The SCD3.3 uses OPA1612 op-amps between the R2R DAC and analogue stage, paired with MUSES8920 amplifiers in the output stage, delivering a transparent, detailed and high-current output.
Precision Clock System | Ultra-Stable Signal Processing
Dual oscillator sets (90.3168MHz / 98.304MHz for FPGA and 45.1584MHz / 49.152MHz for USB section) ensure extremely low jitter and stable digital processing for improved clarity.
Multi-Stage Component Tuning
High-grade ELNA, Nichicon and Panasonic capacitors are carefully selected and positioned throughout the signal path for optimal tonal balance and stability.
Stable Power Supply | Dual R-Core Transformers
Dual transformers provide up to 66W of clean power, reducing magnetic interference and ensuring stable, low-noise operation.
USB Drive Playback
Supports direct playback from USB flash drives, HDDs and SSDs, with Hi-Res support up to PCM 768kHz and DSD512.
Digital Inputs | Bluetooth, USB, Coaxial
Flexible digital connectivity includes USB for computers, coaxial SPDIF for external sources, and Bluetooth streaming from mobile devices.
Digital Outputs | I2S, USB, Coaxial
Comprehensive digital output options for compatibility with everything from legacy DACs to high-end I2S systems.
Analogue Outputs | RCA & XLR
Supports both fixed line-out and pre-out modes, suitable for active speakers, power amplifiers and external headphone amplifiers.
Solid Aluminium CNC Chassis
A 9.5mm thick aluminium chassis provides excellent rigidity and helps reduce vibration and mechanical resonance.
Top-Loading Drive System
Uses a precision-weighted CD puck system for stable disc clamping and accurate reading.
5-inch Touchscreen
Runs Shanling’s in-house control system focused on music playback, offering a responsive and intuitive interface.
Tube Display Window
A dedicated viewing window showcases the glow of the dual vacuum tubes during operation.
Companion App | Remote Control
Compatible with the Eddict Player app on Android and iOS, enabling remote control of USB playback, browsing, and library navigation.
