{"product_id":"shanling-onix-zenith-xst20-cd-sacd-transport","title":"Shanling Onix Zenith XST20 CD\/SACD Transport","description":"The Shanling Onix Zenith XST20 transport reads CD, multi\/single-layer SACD, CD-R\/RW, and MQA-CD formats. Acting as a dedicated disc reader, it utilizes an advanced FPGA system and Sanyo mechanism to bypass internal conversions, sending bit-perfect digital and native DSD signals to external DACs. The solid aluminum chassis houses a Talema toroidal transformer for low-noise power delivery. It features an I2S output with ten switchable pinout modes, a color touchscreen, and a magnetic glass disc-clamp.\n\nCritics praise the transport for its flagship performance, usability, and design. The Absolute Sound highlighted its uncolored, natural sound and ability to resurrect older SACD libraries. Positive Feedback described it as astonishingly good, noting its heavy build and magnetic glass-clamp system while stating it outperforms traditional reference gear. It also earned an award from High Fidelity for stunning aesthetics that match much more expensive European high-end equipment.\n\nExtracting the raw potential of high-resolution discs can be a challenge. This reference transport bridges that gap by delivering a transparent presentation that uncovers textures hidden in the grooves. It allows audiophiles to maintain the tactile ritual of spinning discs while unlocking the full limits of external converters. For anyone looking to ground their system with an uncompromised optical drive that handles native DSD, this component offers a definitive way to elevate your digital front end.","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53202608554265,"sku":"100698","price":2049.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/100698-4.jpg?v=1789682334","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/shanling-onix-zenith-xst20-cd-sacd-transport","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
