Shanling’s CR60 CD Transport and Ripper Brings Maximum Ease and Flexibility to Enjoying Compact Discs in Modern Audio Systems
Compact, Intuitive, and Affordable: the CR60 is an Easy, High-Performance Add-on to Rack and Desktop Audio Systems
Montreal, Quebec, January 27, 2025 – Forte Distribution, a key distributor of audio and audiophile music products, is now shipping the Shanling CR60 CD Transport and Ripper to the U.S. market.
Now available through select dealers and the Forte Distribution website, https://forte-distribution.com, the CR60 (SRP: $299) is a rugged, versatile, compact CD transport that gives music lovers an easy, reliable solution for enjoying compact discs with any DAC or AVR that accepts optical, coaxial, or USB-A inputs.
As a CD ripper, the CR60’s USB output connects to USB drives, digital audio players (DAPs), and select Android devices and computers. (The default format is WAV. FLAC ripping is availble via app.) A simple automatic process generates a new folder for each CD, with complete metadata.
“Streaming may be the most popular way to listen to music, but there is still a thriving market in CD sales, not to mention the sizable existing base of audiophiles and casual listeners who own hundreds or thousands of discs they collected over the years,” says Roger Fortier, VP and Sales, Forte Distribution, U.S. distributor of Shanling Electronics. “The CR60 is custom tailored for music lovers who enjoy their CD collections and continue to buy new by their favorite artists.”
Shanling’s CR60 CD transport and ripper employs a user-friendly interface that allows even novice users to easily navigate the model’s extensive feature set. A compact 1.14” screen displays the core playback and ripping details with Shanling’s intuitive menu and icons. A simple switch on the back allows the user to easily shift from recording to playback mode.
Internally, the CR60 uses top-shelf parts for a seamless ripping and listening experience. The Phillips CD drive and Sanyo HD850 laser are considered some of the most reliable components in audio.
The CR60 is available in either black or silver. The aluminum alloy chassis is sleek and sturdy, and an aesthetic match for nearly any interior design. Its compact dimensions -- 11.61” x 11.22 x 5.31” -- make it easy to place the CR60 in a rack, on a desktop, or wherever the user prefers.
In addition to the CR60, the package includes a remote control and a USB-A to USB-C power cable.
Adds Mr. Fortier: “In November, Billboard reported more than 21 million CDs were sold in North America, and a large percentage were bought by the Gen-Z demographic. With its flexibility, affordable price, and unshakable reliability, the CR60 is the perfect transport and ripper for music fans in 2025.”
