Seems Shanling also wants to join the CD player game (after a Moondrop one was recently announced).

It'll match E1DA 9038s output, at a lesser price
I have the E1DA, it gets much hotter, and sounds more sterile/analytical. E1DA has no volume controller too.
Will do some A/B comparisons in detail and report back.
