Shanling CD-T35 High-End Tube CD Player & Streamer

Shanling CD-T35 High-End Tube CD Player, DAC & Streamer

The Shanling CD-T35 is a flagship high-end CD player and music streamer, created to celebrate 35 years of Shanling Hi-Fi design and engineering. Combining premium CD playback, modern streaming, high-end DAC performance and Shanling’s distinctive three-legged design, the T35 is built as both a serious audio source and a collector’s piece.

At its heart, the CD-T35 brings together some of the most sought-after components from Shanling’s history, including a Philips CD-Pro 2 mechanism and dual AKM AK4499EQ DAC chips. These legacy parts are paired with modern digital audio technology to deliver a refined, high-fidelity listening experience from both physical CDs and streamed music.

The T35 uses a high-end split power supply design, created to give the analogue and digital sections the clean, stable power they need. This helps preserve detail, reduce unwanted noise and maintain a natural balance between musical smoothness and high-resolution performance.

For listeners who enjoy the character of valve audio, the CD-T35 features four carefully matched 12AU7 tubes alongside Shanling’s in-house developed I/V conversion stage. This gives the player a rich, smooth and highly musical sound while still offering the precision expected from a modern high-end digital source.

The deeply customised Android streaming system brings modern music services into a classic Hi-Fi setup. Streaming app support allows access to services such as Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer and more, while the Eddict Player companion app offers advanced remote control from iOS and Android devices.

With its touchscreen interface, dedicated remote control, app control and premium silver chassis, the Shanling CD-T35 is designed to be the centrepiece of a high-end Hi-Fi system — combining CD playback, digital streaming and DAC performance in one beautifully engineered source component.

Please note: this is the standard CD-T35 model and does not include the dedicated headphone amplifier module found in the CD-T35 HP version.

Design & Build

The CD-T35 revives Shanling’s famous three-legged design, made iconic by the original T300, and reimagines it for modern high-end Hi-Fi systems. Its bold chassis, premium finish and illuminated design make it stand out as both a serious source component and a collector’s item.

Legacy Parts, Modern Performance

Shanling has combined rare, out-of-production legacy parts with modern digital technology for the CD-T35. The Philips CD-Pro 2 mechanism and dual AKM AK4499EQ DAC chips give the player a high-end foundation for detailed, smooth and musical playback.

Tube Output Stage

The CD-T35 features four carefully matched 12AU7 tubes, giving listeners the option of a warmer and more analogue-style sound. This tube output stage is designed to add richness and smoothness while preserving clarity and detail.

Streaming & App Control

Alongside CD playback, the T35 includes a deeply customised Android streaming platform, bringing modern music apps to a high-end CD player. It can be controlled from the front touchscreen, the supplied remote control or the Eddict Player companion app on iOS and Android.
