Shanling EC Smart - Simple and Affordable CD Player with Bluetooth - Just 149$

[Shanling]

Shanling EC Smart is the new entry model of our CD player lineup, aiming to provide very simple and affordable CD playback to your home. Effortless CD solution for headphones, active monitors, powerful amplifiers or even Bluetooth speakers.​

Swing away the front control panel to reveal DA11 optical drive, pop in your favourite CD and you are good to go. No complicated settings or smartphone apps, only a pure CD player with a few buttons and a basic infrared remote controller.

Audio section utilizes Hi-Fi quality Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC, offering clean and smooth sound. Just connect EC Smart to a pair of active monitors or even to a full speaker rig with powerful amplifiers, thanks to its rear line-out output (3.5mm jack, RCA adapter included). And for interrupted listening, we added a dedicated 3.5mm headphone output to the side of the CD player.

Our new generation of CD players is unique thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity and we brought the same to the EC Smart. Just pair it with your favourite Bluetooth speakers to bring your CD collection into the world of modern wireless audio.

Thanks to its compact design, with mostly aluminium construction, EC Smart fits easily into a wide range of homes. While designed to be used primarily in the vertical orientation, with the spinning discs being the centre of the attention, the bottom stand can be removed and CD player can simply rest on its rear rubber feet, for an even more compact setup.

And with EC Smart demanding only a basic USB power source, it can be powered directly from any phone charger, USB port on computer or TV. EC Smart can even run with portable battery chargers, if you would like to go completely off the grid in the parks or secluded mountain cabins.

Available at the end of June

At just 149 USD

Is there a need for such a product?

Is there a need for such a product?

Imagine where we'd be if companies only released products based on need...

 

[Shanling]

Is there a need for such a product?

For people that want a cheap CD player to play into their Bluetooth speakers or external amp?

We guess so

As much as there were questions about EC Mini release, it became highly selling model.

It looks cute, I give you that.

If it is not rude to ask, just out of curiosity, what does the buyer demographic look like?

Like this? (I am joking)

 

[Dragon Leader]

That's actually a neat-looking thing. It can drive 8 headphones as long as they are blue.
