The Shanling CT90 is a high-fidelity CD transport. It is based on a Sanyo DA11 playback system and a SAA7826 decoder for the most faithful reproduction. It supports high-resolution streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz, DSD512, and MQA-CD with upsampling. In addition, it features Bluetooth 5.0 with support for high-resolution AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, and LDAC codecs. The modern Eddict Player app also allows you to fully control the CT90. In terms of connectivity, there is a USB-B transport input, as well as numerous digital outputs, including an I2S LVDS output via HDMI. A BNC input also offers the possibility of using an external clock. The whole unit is powered by a 35W linear power supply consisting of an audiophile-grade toroidal transformer.
The Shanling CT90 supports the MQA format with various options. It offers full support (4x), basic support (2x), and an MQA source mode to adapt to the DAC that would come next in the audio chain.

With its dedicated CT7302 upsampling chip, the CT90 can adapt the signal to almost any PCM or DSD DAC.
Please note that upsampling is not available on the USB output. Upsampling is possible via I2S up to PCM 32bit 768 kHz and DSD512, but also via AES/EBU or coaxial SPDIF up to PCM 24bit 192 kHz and DSD DoP64.


The CT90 uses two 45MHz / 49MHz oscillators to radically optimize jitter and deliver a highly accurate digital signal.
The Shanling CT90 features a Bluetooth input and supports high-definition AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, and LDAC codecs for fast, high-quality wireless playback.
