Hi RoA, Thanks for your input! I'd imagine that the DAC you'd use with it would be the main importance, but I have mainly read good things on both transports. Just wish I could listen to both and A/B them. Merry Christmas!

Hi there! I was considering purchasing a cd transport player. I'm thinking either the Shanling ET3 or the Audiolab 6000CDT. I assume both are good transports? Any feedback on these 2? Or perhaps something else? Thanks!

Hi Gray, thanks for your reply! I just happen to check around the pcb just to see what the various components were running at temperature wise. I just assumed that some of the parts appeared to be higher temps than others. I also noticed a group of small resistors that displayed a temp around...

I'm willing to bet that the TDA1541A chip is 1:1 fake copy!

Hello there! I have an older model NAD C542 cd player that I have changed the optics/ribbon cable and it's back working again. The issue I am seeing is that the temps on the caps and I believe transistors are running at temps over 125*F. I believe they are part of the PS? Is this normal when a...
