Historic Hi-fi Meets Cutting-edge Performance
For over 75 years, Onkyo has been instrumental in the advancement of hi-fi home audio, and the DX-C390 6-disc CD player serves as the company’s flagship of premium CD performance. The DX-C390 deploys a suite of cutting-edge tech, innovative engineering, and comprehensive control to support audiophile-grade playback with uncompromising preservation of aural fidelity. Vector Quantizer Audio (VQA) DAC and Onkyo-exclusive Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) technologies are complemented by a robust chassis, 40-track programming capabilities, and a variety of repeat modes to give you unfettered access to lush, expressive audio that is faithfully reproduced on your terms. Home audio experts at Sweetwater have marveled at the DX-C390’s distinctive carousel construction, not merely for its 6-disc capacity and accessibility in virtually any lighting condition, but also for the capability of changing out up to five discs without disrupting playback. With CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 CD support alongside flexible analog and digital connectivity options, the DX-C390 is your all-inclusive apparatus for pristine listening with virtually every entry in your collection.

Highly-advanced technological support
Contrasted with a traditional D/A converter that would minimize noise at the conversion stage, Onkyo’s outfitted the DX-C390 with its VLSC technology lifted straight from their highest-echelon components. This state-of-the-art D/A conversion circuit succeeds at eliminating digital pulse noise, helping to smooth the waveform while eliciting a noise-free analog signal from a digital source. This functionality is complemented by the ultra-precise VQA technology and 128-times oversampling, supported by a multi-bit D/A converter and AccuPulse Quartz System. The DX-C390 masterfully implements these to imbue your CDs with lush detail for an unparalleled listening experience, from its 5Hz to 20kHz frequency response range and near-imperceptible 0.004% total harmonic distortion.
Crafted for clarity and control
Onkyo’s commitment to pristine performance doesn’t end with DAC or circuitry technologies. After all, what good is premier tech without a solid foundation? Designers at Onkyo asked themselves the same question, answering with a detailed array of engineering and interfacing solutions. The DX-C390 employs the company’s exclusive Direct Digital Path design and features a heavy-gauge, high-purity, shielded cable that delivers the digital bitstream directly to the back panel from the disc — a superior upgrade to the PC=board copper traces used in conventional CD players. This is all housed within a robust, vibration-resistant chassis that’s adorned with a sleek, aluminum-brushed faceplate that’s been ergonomically arranged for streamlined access to its 6-disc carousel and detailed face buttons. Its 4-mode display dimmer and real-time indicators ensure seamless operation in virtually any lighting, and the full-function RI remote control grants you uninhibited access to the DX-C390’s entire suite of playback possibilities, including 40-track programming and six versatile Repeat modes.
