The Shanling CR60 is a versatile device for playing your old CD collection and converting them into digital files.
This new CD transport from Shanling not only allows you to play CDs but also enables you to rip them into digital formats, which can then be stored on for example a NAS. This makes your music library much more accessible and easier to search. As a transport, the CR60 requires an external DAC to process the audio output for a high-quality listening experience. The device features a Philips CD drive and a Sanyo laser for reliable performance, or so promises the manufacturer.
One standout feature is the ability to rip CDs directly to a smartphone via an Android app or to a USB stick directly from the CR60. Power is supplied through a USB-C connection, with the option to use a 12-volt power supply. The Shanling CR60 is priced at $270.
I got this unit some time ago. It is remarkably well built for the price.
