Shanling CT90 CD Transport

Around this time Shanling is launching their new CD Transport, which is offering 2 AES/EBU digital outputs and supporting 44.1 kHz Wordclock in. US$ 900.

Could be interesting for a cheap CD transport together with dCS.

Looks like another contender

Indeed, together with yours there are now two cheap CD Transport options.

Just a little puzzled:

High-Precision 45 & 49 MHz clocks

Why these and not 44.1 and 48? I assume that the second clock is to support certain MQA encoded discs.

The 45 & 49 Mhz are the oscillators. The CT90 offers upsampling: 1024x 44.1 kHz (45.1584 MHz) and 1024x 48 kHz (49.1520 MHz):

The CT7302/CT5302 is a single chip dual channel audio digital to digital bridge with sample rate converter.
