Product Details
Shanling ONIX Zenith XST20 – High-End SACD/CD Transport
Official 240V Model • Audiophile Shop Australia Warranty & Support
The Shanling ONIX Zenith XST20 represents the pinnacle of Shanling’s premium Onix sub-brand, designed for audiophiles seeking uncompromising SACD and CD playback. Built as a pure transport, it focuses entirely on extracting the highest quality digital signal for use with external DACs.
With native DSD output from SACD and a precision top-loading mechanism, the XST20 is engineered for accuracy, stability, and long-term performance. Its refined design eliminates unnecessary features, delivering a focused, purpose-built digital source for serious systems.
Connectivity & Digital Outputs
- I2S (HDMI) – SACD: DSD64 Native / CD: PCM 44.1kHz
- Coaxial – SACD: DSD64 DoP or D2P / CD: PCM 44.1kHz
- BNC – SACD: DSD64 DoP or D2P / CD: PCM 44.1kHz
- AES/EBU – SACD: DSD64 DoP or D2P / CD: PCM 44.1kHz
- TOSLINK – SACD: DSD64 DoP or D2P / CD: PCM 44.1kHz
- USB – CD only (PCM 44.1kHz), SACD not supported
DoP (DSD over PCM) enables DSD signals to be transmitted through standard PCM connections without conversion, preserving the integrity of the original data stream.
Key Features
- True SACD Transport – Native DSD playback with multiple output formats for DAC compatibility.
- FPGA-Assisted I2S Output – 10 selectable pin configurations for broad compatibility with third-party DACs.
- Precision Top-Loading Mechanism – Glass puck design for stable, accurate disc reading.
- Supports Single & Multi-Layer SACDs – Full compatibility with high-resolution disc formats.
- Gapless Playback – Seamless playback for uninterrupted listening sessions.
- 3.4" Colour Touchscreen – Intuitive access to all settings and system configuration.
- Pure Transport Design – No streaming, wireless, or unnecessary processing.
Why Choose the XST20?
The Zenith XST20 is designed for listeners who want absolute control over their digital front end. By separating transport and DAC stages, it allows you to pair with a high-end external DAC and extract maximum performance from your SACD and CD collection.
It is also part of a growing ecosystem, with matching Onix DAC and Linux-based streaming transport components expected to complement the system in future releases.
