Forte Distribution has introduced the Shanling EC Zero T portable hybrid CD player to the U.S., a game-changer for audiophiles craving high-fidelity sound on the go. Priced at $649, this sleek device blends cutting-edge technology with the nostalgic charm of compact discs, catering to a growing market of music enthusiasts who value physical media in an era of fleeting streaming availability.

Hybrid design

The EC Zero T stands out with its proprietary R2R DAC, featuring 192 precision resistors, paired with dual JAN6418 tube outputs and a TPA6120 audiophile-grade headphone amplifier. This hybrid design offers users the choice between warm analog tube sound and crisp solid-state output via a simple toggle switch. The result is exceptional audio clarity, whether you’re spinning a CD or streaming via Bluetooth 5.3, which supports aptX Adaptive, aptX, and SBC for top-tier wireless performance.

Versatility

Designed for versatility, the EC Zero T doubles as a CD player and an outboard DAC, handling up to 768kHz PCM and DSD512 when connected to a laptop via USB-C. Its robust headphone amp delivers up to 1220mW through the balanced 4.4mm output and 330mW via the 3.5mm jack, driving virtually any high-end headphone with ease. Coaxial and optical SPDIF outputs ensure seamless integration with active speakers, AVRs, or rack systems, while a CD ripping function saves tracks to a USB drive for digital convenience.

Weighing just 669g and measuring 158 x 150 x 28mm, the EC Zero T’s aluminum chassis with tempered glass panels is both durable and stylish, fitting effortlessly into a backpack or desktop setup. A 1.68-inch color screen, hardware buttons, and a volume slider enhance usability, while a 5500mAh battery provides up to 8 hours of playback. An active magnetic CD clamp and anti-skip system ensure reliable performance on the move.

The EC Zero T taps into the thriving CD market with next-level sonics. says Roger Fortier, VP of Forte Distribution. It’s a perfect blend of portability, flexibility, and audiophile-grade sound.
