For what is worth, my Pioneer DV-563A-S can also choose between CD and SACD layers in hybrid SACDs, but (unless I missed a command) only in the settings menu.

I may likely add this transport to my desktop rig given I’m seeking a CD player solution that has a small footprint. I have a Roon Nucleus paired to a Lumin U1 mini. This peripheral player will allow me to spin all of my discs (including SACD). I prefer the tray loader on this unit rather than the front slot or top loading design of their other offerings.
It`s a shame that Shanling offers the bubble of "I2S" output without give us the complete 2.8Mhz DSD stream capability with it. My Pioneer Blu-Ray Player BDP-62FD from 10 years ago (and many Oppo's) can output from coaxial at 88.2Khz PCM. This is not rare but common figure. So why invest in a Shanling SACD player (or thinking to buy a I2S DAC), with the same results?

SACDs can be played to their full quality with the onboard DAC, as SCD1.3 was mainly designed as an SACD player with analog output, digital outputs are not priority on this model.
But at the same time, SACD playback is only part of the functionality of SCD1.3. CDs, DLNA, local files with ultra-hires, they all can use the I2S output.
Also, many people prefer to purchase new devices with warranty and support instead of legacy devices.
Have any question about our players? Just PM me or send me email.

Wondering how this would sound playing out of the XLRs to my Sony SA-Z1 studio speakers? Anyone have any guess, I'd love to hear. Even simply speculation.
It is a good question. Some of us have many SACD copies (I don't like the term pirated copies), but this is true. It would be nice that the Shanling SCD1.3 can read these DVD-R discs. If someone can test it and tell us their findings, it would be great help. Thanks.
