{"product_id":"shanling-ct90-cd-transport","title":"Shanling CT90 CD Transport","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Shanling CT90 is a top-loading CD transport: it reads the disc and sends the digital signal to your DAC over I²S, USB, AES\/EBU or coaxial. A single-speed DA11 mechanism with an SAA7826 servo, a tuned CD puck, precision clocks and a 35W linear power supply are all there to read CDs accurately. It also decodes MQA-CD, plays music from USB drives and receives Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p00.jpg?v=1791343269\" alt=\"Shanling CT90 hi-fi CD transport in black and silver\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDisc system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShanling chose a single-speed DA11 laser mechanism with the SAA7826 servo for stable rotation and consistent timing, which it says gives a fluid, natural sound. A separate CD puck, tuned to reduce vibration, holds the disc, and the cover tilts open for top loading. It plays CD, CD-R and CD-RW, and MQA-CD with Full Decoder, Core Decoder and Source modes to suit your DAC; a coloured indicator shows the MQA type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p02.jpg?v=1791343274\" alt=\"The SAA7826 and DA11 disc system of the Shanling CT90\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p08.jpg?v=1791343294\" alt=\"The tuned CD puck and top-loading design of the Shanling CT90\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/p03.jpg?v=1791343279\" alt=\"MQA-CD support and indicator on the Shanling CT90\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital outputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CT90 is Shanling’s first transport with an FPGA-assisted I²S output, with 10 pinout settings for almost any I²S DAC.
