Hi, I am trying to connect the Shanling cr60 ripper/player to the internal player without much luck. I would like to use the equalizer and other functions (remote and vu meters) when playing cd's. Is this possible. I tried every connection but can only use the device as a seperate player. Also the ripper cd player is not recognizing the Shanling. Any thoughts and experiences on this issue? Is there another (budget) player that does work or is it simply not possible?
The Shanling CR60 has standard digital outputs coax, optical and usb audio when used as a CD Transport. These should be all connectable to the A6 so you can use the internal DAC, these will inevitably appear as analog output from the A6. I assume you can use the DSP as this is configurable for any output from the A6, but not sure about vu meter availability. Your A6 is just a DAC when used in this way, you can't control the playback from the A6, the Cr60 is the master. The inbuilt CD player ripper in the A6 is an entirely different thing, it won't see the Cr60 as a simple optical drive.
Thanks! Just after the last A6 update my optical drive (the one that is used in the instructional video) is working but it is very noisy and clicks and rattles a lot (during rereading the data i think). Before the update I tried numerous optical drives (even very expensive ones) but they all failed. Is there an optical drive or transprt/ripper that works and is of better quality ?
So you have ongoing problems with general optical drives when connected to your A6 over USB ? Not really a specific question about the CR60 ? If you have tried a range of optical drives for playing/ripping on your A6 and have problems, it may be that the drives are pulling too much current over USB from the A6. So have you tried using a powered USB hub to connect your drives to the A6 OTG, this would stop this issue ? I do this not only because of the current limiting issue but also to give me more USB ports on my A6. I use a Hitachi-LG Data Storage Inc model GP57 connected in this way via a RSHTECH 4port USB3 powered hub, works well.
Is the Shanling CR60 finally working with the A6? Looking for a nice cd drive for my A8 I also consider the Shanling as proper candidate next to the Hifi Rose RSA780. I guess as normal transport via coax the Shanling should work. What's about usb A connection? Is the drive recognized by the Eversolo in the CD player app? What's about usb B connection? Can I use the Shanling with the eversolo ripping app? Best, Kurt
I've also been looking at this drive recently and would be interested to know if anyone had tried it with an Eversolo.
Unfortunately I discovered that the Shanling is a very vibraty noisy machine. Also the A6 will not recognize the Shanling as ripper so I sent it back. Eversolo Customer service wrote me: Thanks for reaching out to Eversolo. The A6 does not support the use of the equalizer and other functions (Info, Art, Remote and Vu Meter) when playing CDs. The A6 also does not support recognition of Shanling for ripping CDs. Please kindly use a CD-ROM for CD ripping. Hope this helps, thank you.
I have learned that the Shanling is only noisey when it doesn't have adequate power. It needs a min of 12v 2a, I am running mine with a Topping 15v LPSU and it's dead silent. Odd response from Eversolo as my A6 does support info, art, VU when playing CDs. Unless that is a feature of the ME version which I have.
Thanks for that input. Again my question, how do you connect the Shanling to your Eversolo? Is everything working with CD Playback and Ripping? Best, Kurt
