The Crossover EC Zero T, a portable CD player, is a collaboration between SHANLING and MOONDROP, limited to 2000 units globally.
Featuring dual Raytheon JAN6418 vacuum tubes and Kunlun R2R DAC architecture, it offers enhanced analog sound conversion and warmth.
Equipped with AD8397 dual op-amps and audio-grade capacitors, it ensures stable power supply and high-resolution mid-high frequency output.
The Crossover EC Zero T represents a meticulous blend of SHANLING’s renowned classical sound signature and MOONDROP’s emphasis on precise mid-high frequency reproduction. This collaboration introduces audio enthusiasts to a rare convergence of traditional analog warmth and cutting-edge digital precision, embodied by the Kunlun R2R DAC architecture. Unlike conventional ΔΣ DACs, the R2R design prioritizes a purist analog conversion approach, delivering an expansive soundstage with heightened detail and transient clarity. Audiophiles may appreciate the PCM Filter’s ability to switch to OS Mode, allowing fine-tuning of the transient response for an "upright" tonal characteristic that resonates well with dynamic recordings.
Further enhancing its audiophile credentials, the EC Zero T integrates Raytheon JAN6418 vacuum tubes within its circuitry, offering a sonic palette that transitions seamlessly between the velvety, euphonic warmth of tube amplification and the crystalline clarity of transistor-driven high-resolution output. This versatility is amplified by the dual-mode toggle for Tube Mode, a feature that allows users to tailor their listening experience to diverse genres and preferences. The device also incorporates advanced mechanical engineering, such as a custom magnetic disc stabilizer and servo system, ensuring precise CD tracking and reducing wear over extended use. Combined with the high-power 4.4mm headphone jack output, capable of delivering up to 1200mW at 32Ω via external power, the EC Zero T bridges the gap between modern functionality and the tactile charm of physical media.
The visual and ergonomic design of the EC Zero T complements its robust technical specifications. With a modern gray industrial aesthetic and a refreshed sharp-font UI on its 1.68-inch LCD screen, users can personalize their interface with up to 10 color options. The inclusion of premium accessories, such as a reversible illustrated disc and shoulder case, adds a touch of exclusivity to this limited-edition release. Compact yet substantial at 669g and measuring 158×150×28mm, the EC Zero T is thoughtfully crafted for portability without compromising its high-caliber performance, offering a rare experience where artistry meets audio engineering.
