It is designed to be the centerpiece of a serious system, combining Super Audio CD and Red Book CD playback with a modern digital and wireless feature set. At its core sit dual AKM AK4499EQ flagship DACs paired with a tube output stage, a pairing intended to deliver detail and resolution alongside a natural, dimensional presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAttention to power delivery is a defining part of the design. The CD-T35 uses fully separated analogue and digital power supplies, isolating sensitive analogue circuitry from digital noise. Connectivity is comprehensive, with both single ended RCA and balanced XLR analogue outputs, a coaxial digital output, and a USB DAC digital input that lets you use the player as a converter for a computer or other digital sources. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth extend the player into wireless streaming duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CD-T35 also caters to headphone listeners with a versatile trio of outputs: a 6.35 mm jack, a 4.4 mm balanced connection, and a balanced XLR headphone output.

It is aimed at the listener who wants a physical disc player with the flexibility to serve as the digital heart of a high end system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference class SACD and CD playback in a distinctive three-leg statement chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual AKM AK4499EQ flagship DACs for high resolution conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube output stage for a natural, dimensional analogue presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully separated analogue and digital power supplies to reduce noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR and single ended RCA analogue outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree headphone outputs: 6.35 mm, 4.4 mm balanced, and balanced XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB DAC digital input to use the player as a converter for external sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoaxial digital output for connection to an external DAC or processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge scale build with dimensions of 492.5 mm diameter by 155 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the CD-T35 Compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:1.15em;font-weight:800;margin:14px 0 4px\"\u003eShanling CD-T35 vs Shanling SCD3.3\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SCD3.3 sits one step below the CD-T35 in the Shanling ladder and is an excellent SACD\/CD player for a more traditional rectangular form factor.
