I placed an order for next week but it's most likely going to get canceled tomorrow, unfortunately. I don't think I would mind bearing with some bugs here and there, especially as I am only interested to use it as a SRC CD player. Not BT, AP or anything else. It's cool that it has those features but no upsampling on USB and no gapless playback is sort of a deal breaker. What do you think? Seems that some people have issues with CD playback. I have no experience with Shanling and don't want to rush to judgment. I guess I am still interested in this praised sound.
While I have devices with AES inputs, none with I2S, the Dac I want to use it with has BNC, Toslink and USB.
Looked on the website, and it says USB output: up to PCM 768kHz / 32bit, DSD 512. This is the information I went by before I purchased it.

My DAC does DSD 512 Native and was very curious to hear it via USB.
Came here to read the post about updates and saw no USB SRC post, then in the manual, USB does not upsample, and also only the USB Drive supports gapless playback. So no gapless playback on the CD player? Yikes. Why doesn't the USB upsample? Does it read ahead?
