At 28 x 20.5 x 5.2 cm, Shanling calls it its smallest fully equipped CD player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBeyond discs, it plays music from a USB drive and from your phone over Bluetooth. It adds a balanced headphone amplifier, RCA outputs and a coaxial digital output. The aluminum chassis comes in Silver or Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eTray-Loading CD Drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe CD80 II uses the same 4th-generation CD system as Shanling's CD-S100 (25). It pairs an HD850 laser with a tray-style mechanism. It plays CD, CD-R and CD-RW audio discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eCirrus Logic DAC and Dual Headphone Amps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC handles conversion, with Panasonic FC capacitors in the audio circuit. Two SGM8262 amplifiers power the headphone outputs. The 4.4mm balanced jack delivers 850mW and the 3.5mm jack 215mW, both into 32 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eUSB Drive and Bluetooth Playback\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe front USB port reads drives up to 2TB, with files up to PCM 384kHz\/32-bit and DSD256.

It also has a Pre-Out mode, so you can connect it directly to powered speakers. The coaxial output sends up to 24-bit\/192kHz to an external DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eWhat it will not do: it does not play SACDs, and it has no optical or coaxial digital inputs. It has no Wi-Fi or network streaming.
