Disappointed with Shanling CD80

[Roland68]

I contacted Shanling. They confirmed that the issue existe on optical SPDIF output, player also has in built DAC and RCA analogue outputs on these outputs the issue didn't appears. Concerning the gapless playback Shanling confirms HW limitation.

I have since gotten a Cambridge Audio CXC, a pure CD transport, and can only recommend it.
Fast, quiet, well thought out, it also reads difficult CDRs and very scratched CDs.
Runs on an ancient Dacmagic (full-size case with 2 x TDA1305), on a Gustard A18 and on the SMSL D400 EX without any problems.
