Up To 6 Discs for Hours of Enjoyment

Music lovers rejoice! If you're looking for the ultimate in CD playback from an audiophile grade component, you will be impressed with high-precision VQA (Vector Quantizer Audio DAC Technology) and 128x oversampling. Those looking for convenience will thrill at the sight of 6-disc capability, 6 repeat modes, 40-track programming and no worries about interruptions to your music with the ability to change 5 discs while the last one is still playing. You will marvel at crystal clear playback enhanced by Onkyo's exclusive VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) for a smoother sounding audio signal and Direct Digital Path, a heavily shielded, high-quality cable to protect that same delicate audio signal from noise emitted by the surrounding circuits. Housed in a sturdy chassis graced with a brushed aluminum front panel, the DXC390 is ready to provide hours of uninterrupted music for the soundtrack of your life.

VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)

Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can't remove it completely. Previously only available on Onkyo's high-end components, VLSC employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between the sampling points and these discrete sampling points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. The result is a noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source.

192kHz/24-Bit DAC with VQA (Vector Quantizer Audio) Technology

The DXC390 features a Wolfson Microelectronics 192 kHz/24-Bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter) specially designed for digital audio applications. Incorporating a novel multi bit sigma-delta design, this DAC boasts a 128x oversampling rate to optimize the S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio performance and provide increased clock jitter tolerance. Also incorporated is exclusive VQA (Vector Quantizer Audio) technology. This breakthrough provides a smoother and leveler signal up to and beyond 20 kHz for optimal sound from your CD collection.

Unique Design Concept

Change up to 5 discs while one is still playing with the DX-C390's exclusive 6-disc carousel design. Also, an elegant light is conveniently located above the loading mechanism for easy disc recognition when changing in the dark. And when you open the tray to put in your favorite music, you'll be amazed at the lack of sound with its exclusive ultra-quiet loading mechanism.

Exclusive Direct Digital Path

Unlike other CD players that use PC-board copper traces to transfer the digital audio signal, the DXC390 employs a high-purity, heavy-gauge, shielded cable to directly output the digital bitstream straight from the disc to the back panel. The result is a noise-free digital audio signal that is less susceptible to flux.

MP3 Playback

Instead of using your small computer speakers, you can play your MP3 files via the DXC390. That's up to 10 hours or more of music on a single disc, depending on the bit rate of the MP3 files. Play these back with Onkyo's exclusive VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) to bring out the nuances and clarity you would have never thought possible.

Excellent Value and Performance

First, this is my 3rd purchase from Vanns and still astounded by their service, knowledge and quality of AV equipment offered.

My new, 4 day old, Onkyo DX-C390 performs as described. Sound quality top notch for price and equivalent to higher priced Marantz and Yamaha CD players Ive owned in past. I did find that the overall crispness was improved dramatically by running output through through digital output cable as compared to standard RCA analog jacks. There seems to be no digital clipping throughout the audible spectrum - very equivalent to true analog systems without the inherent noise of same.

Highly recommend this unit to all but the most fanatical audiophiles.

Nice piece of equipment. It replaces a 17 year old JVC player that finally had its day. Great crist sound through the Wolfsen DAC and this is througn a 30 year old Marrantz receiver. You can play 3-4 CDs and remove them while a 5th CD is playing and add more CDs. Great for a weekend afternoon at home.

Thanks Vanns
I got my onkyo cd player at a great price after about a month of research. It was a snap to set up and it sounds great. I dont under stand all the reviews that said this was clunky and slow! Its great. I got it to replace a very old sony cd player.. I just wish the sony would have quit sooner so I could have been enjoying this great sound sooner. the only problem is.. its about 1000 better than the speakers Im using so now they need up-grading. If you are consindering a cd player at all this is a great sound at a better than great price.

Outstanding CD Changer

Reviewed By: Robert Mc Court - Newport, RI

Bought as a replacement for an aging Yamaha high end CD changer that suddenly malfunctioned. After considering several brands and models, decided I didnt want to spend a lot, but did not want to go for the cheapest thing either. For the price this seemed pretty good. Received it yesterday and hooked it up, and I am very satisfied. Mechanically its much quieter than the Yamaha was, the design and features are good. I especially like the tray light. The only thing missing is a headphone jack. The sound is outstanding. I am positive I can hear little nuances and details I did not hear with the Yamaha, or Technics or Sony or other Cd players I have had experience with. Most impressive and important for me is that it doesnt have that digital coldness and harshness. Overall, IMHO this compares favorably to most audiophile gradehigh end CD players Ive heard, and for the price its unbeatable. And Vanns was very good too! Competitive price, order promptly processed and very well packaged.

WOW! A real 'low carb' way to satisfy your audio palate! The smooth-almost analog-sound from this changer is nothing short of amazing-very warm and clear with no hint of 'brassiness.' If you relish great sounding music of any genre you owe yourself a listen. Your ears, and those of your guests, will savor the delicious sounds. I hear sublteties in my favorite discs I never heard before. Don't let the rather deep ~17' enclosure make you think twice-cut a hole in the back of your entertainment center and do your CD collection some justice! This quality 6 disc changer will serve up the finest audio cuisine with abundance and convenience. Bon Appetite!

We love it!

This is an easy to set up and use cd changer, but the best part of it is the sound reproduction. Whether played LOUD or soft the sound is great. So sit back, relax and enjoy!

Very high quality unit. Clean sound and the changer mechanism is virtually silent. Controls are easy to use. Best of all this unit can play MP3 CD's. Displays the MP3 name. Unit has analog, optical and coaxial outputs. My only complaint is the changer could be a bit quicker. Still this unit is highly recommended. Sounds are good as the $800 unit I check out. I paid $189.99 at Circuit City.

For its low price this is a nice piece of equipment. It does, however, have its limitations.
Specifically, the dynamic range is compressed and will not reveal deep bass or highest highs. Good
recordings sound -- good -- but not great. This can partially be attributed to the signal to noise ratio. Mechanically, the unit is well engineered and works flawlessly. Its made very well. Nevertheless, good interconnect analog cables are essential to elicit the best possible sound. Accoustic jazz sounds good. More complex
musical passages such as, Big Band, lack clearly defined resolution. The sound is muddy and congested. Overall its a decent piece of equipment at a reasonable price. Dont expect way too much and you wont be disappointed.

Bottom line -- you usually get what you pay for!

I have been very pleased with this product ever since I got it from Vanns until now, when it suddenly malfunctioned in the middle of a Christmas gathering. I had the Onkyo changer only about 2 years and hadnt used it a lot, so this was a great disappointment. I am reluctant to replace it with another Onkyo product, despite the good reputation of the brand.
