Drawer-Tray Design & Chassis The CD80II uses a traditional drawer-style CD tray for maximum reliability and disc protection. Its unibody aluminum-alloy chassis is precision-forged to be both lightweight and exceptionally rigid, with crisp edges and a smooth finish that underscore Shanling’s commitment to mechanical craftsmanship. Color Options & Display Choose between sleek Black or Silver finishes. A 1.28-inch (240×240 px) high-resolution color display presents track metadata, elapsed time, and playback settings in a clean, minimalist UI. At just 260×205×52 mm, the CD80II occupies minimal desktop space while delivering a full-featured experience. Drive & Servo System Shanling equips the CD80II with its fourth-generation CD-dedicated servo system—identical to that in the flagship CD-S100—mated to the HD850 transport mechanism. This pairing maintains sub-millisecond tracking accuracy and eliminates data-read errors, ensuring consistent, loss-free playback. Digital Decoding Performance The Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC decodes PCM up to 384 kHz/32-bit and native DSD256, revealing microdynamic detail and expansive tonal depth. Shanling’s 37 years of tuning expertise further refine the signal path to deliver transparent, lifelike sound. Analog Amplification Dual SGM8262 amplifier chips reduce distortion and maintain linearity, delivering up to 850 mW @ 32 Ω balanced output while effortlessly powering both low-and high-impedance headphones. Power Filtering Premium Panasonic FC filter capacitors deliver ultra-low-noise power by minimizing ripple and transient artifacts. The result is a highly resolved soundstage with clear separation between instruments. Controls & Connectivity Control is handled by tactile front-panel buttons and a smooth rotary knob for track skipping, play/pause, and volume adjustment, with an included IR remote for on-desk convenience and Bluetooth-based operation via the Eddict Player app, which lets you browse files and manage playback from any smartphone.
