The SCD1.3R is a compact CD/SACD player from Shanling, a well-established Chinese manufacturer known for accomplished, value-focused digital and analogue audio engineering, built into a remarkably manageable chassis. The SCD1.3R brings Shanling's considered engineering to disc-based digital source playback.

Key specs that matter

Frequency response for SACD spans an exceptionally wide 20Hz to 40,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output level is 5.0V balanced or 2.5V single-ended. Dynamic range for SACD is 117dB via RCA or 120dB via XLR, matching the signal-to-noise ratio figures. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is 0.003%. At 280 x 280 x 96mm and 5.7kg, the SCD1.3R maintains a compact CD/SACD player chassis representing accomplished value.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally clean disc playback reflecting the strong over-120dB XLR dynamic range and signal-to-noise figures, packed into this compact chassis representing accomplished value at this price tier.

Pairing

Shanling's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same broader catalogue.

Alternatives

Shanling's own SCD3.3 offers a more substantial alternative with CD and SACD dual-format support within the same broader digital source catalogue.
