Description
The Shanling CD-T35 Tube CD Player and Streamer represents a triumphant return to the brand’s most iconic design philosophy, inspired by the legendary CD-T300 released in 2004. Drawing on over three decades of engineering expertise since Shanling’s founding in 1988, this model revives the distinctive three-legged chassis while pushing performance into new territory.
Limited to just 99 units worldwide, the CD-T35 is not simply a product it is a collector’s statement piece. Every aspect of its construction reflects a deep respect for Hi-Fi heritage combined with modern innovation. Designed for enthusiasts who value both craftsmanship and sound quality, it bridges the gap between classic CD playback and contemporary digital streaming in a truly unique way.
Legendary Components at the Core of Performance
At the heart of the Shanling CD-T35 Tube CD Player and Streamer lie two rare and highly regarded components that define its sonic character. The Philips CD-Pro 2 mechanism, widely considered one of the finest CD transports ever produced, ensures precise and reliable disc reading through its robust die-cast construction and advanced linear tracking system.
Complementing this is a pair of flagship AKM AK4499EQ DACs, known for their exceptional clarity, dynamic range, and musicality. Carefully selected from limited remaining stock, these components deliver a level of performance rarely found in modern designs.
Together, they create a rich, detailed, and immersive listening experience that honours the golden era of CD playback while exceeding contemporary expectations.
Refined Analogue Stage with Tube Warmth
True to Shanling’s heritage, the Shanling CD-T35 Tube CD Player and Streamer incorporates a sophisticated analogue stage featuring four hand-matched 12AU7 vacuum tubes. This design allows users to enjoy the signature warmth, smoothness, and harmonic richness that only tubes can provide.
Advanced in-house technologies, including a Constant Phase in All Frequencies Low Pass system and a custom I/V conversion circuit, further refine the signal path for optimal performance. Engineers have also utilised premium capacitors, internal wiring, and carefully selected materials to ensure maximum fidelity.
The result is a sound that is both technically precise and emotionally engaging, offering a beautifully balanced presentation that brings out the full character of every recording.
Advanced Streaming and Headphone Capability
Beyond its exceptional CD playback, the Shanling CD-T35 Tube CD Player and Streamer integrates a modern Android-based platform powered by an octa-core Snapdragon processor. This enables seamless access to streaming services such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and Apple Music, alongside wireless playback via DLNA and AirPlay.
A high-definition touchscreen and companion mobile app provide intuitive control over all functions. For headphone enthusiasts, a dedicated version includes a powerful amplifier module delivering up to 7.6W at 32 ohms, capable of driving even the most demanding headphones.
With its dual power supply design ensuring separation between digital and analogue circuits, the CD-T35 delivers uncompromising performance across every listening scenario. Please note: The headphone amplifier is an optional extra. Please call us if you wish to have both.
