Shanling SCD1.3

The Shanling SCD1.3 shines as a high-end DAC that plays SACD, but has been designed as a multifunctional source component for a wide range of hi-fi configurations.

In addition to SACDs, you can enjoy playback from local USB drives , convenient Bluetooth streaming or even compatibility with DLNA, Airplay and NAS

And while . Its balanced and single-ended outputs will be ideal companions for many amplifiers or active audiophile speakers, the included digital inputs can power even better DACs, taking advantage of The new advanced I2S support.

Starting with SACD playback, the SCD1.3 uses the MediaTek ME1389EE system along with the Sanyo HD870 laser tray mechanism, fully unlocking the capabilities of high-resolution SACD discs and also serving standard CDs.And for hybrid SACDs, there's a dedicated button to easily switch between SACD and CD layers.

The SCD1 sound setting .3 was based on the Shanling M9 Plus, with the flagship AKM AK4499EX + AK4191 DAC system in the center. Very detailed, with a wide and precise soundstage, but adding a bit of warmth and softness, for the classic Shanling sound. 

With a high-precision volume control and MUSES8920 acting as a preamplifier, the SCD1.3 can be paired directly with power amplifiers or active speakers, for an easy 2-channel speaker setup. and high quality.

On the other hand, the Shanling SCD1.3 is the first Shanling model that adapts a new advanced I2S system and features a dedicated FPGA circuit for greater I2S output tunability. This special feature offers significantly improved compatibility with DACs across the market, and at launch already includes 10 of the most common HDMI I2 pins. And for the simplest DACs, there is the classic combination of coaxial and optical SPDIF.

For the rest of the functions, the SCD1 .3 runs the latest generation of Shanling's MTouch system, powered by the Ingenic X2000 platform and controlled via a 5-inch touchscreen.The new generation of MTouch offers improved speed, more precise response to touch controls and a simplified user interface, even more tailored to the function of the CD player. MTouch also unlocks the wireless capabilities of SCD1.3, a built-in Bluetooth 5.0 receiver with support for LDAC, aptX HD and AAC, along with Wi-Fi connectivity, incorporating DLNA, Airplay and NAS functions.

Finally, for situations where the resolution of SACD is still not sufficient, the high resolution capabilities of the Shanling SCD1.3 They reach up to 32 bits/768 kHz and DSD512. Connect the SCD1.3 to a computer, using its high-performance XMOS .3.
