Description

The Shanling SCD3.3 represents a top-tier approach to digital playback, combining an in-house SACD system, second-generation R2R DAC architecture, tube-driven analog stage, and a highly refined chassis design. Featuring full SACD support with true native DSD output over I2S, MQA-CD decoding, and ultra-high-resolution PCM/DSD playback, it is engineered as a complete high-end digital hub for advanced audio systems.
