Just as crucial to your sonic enjoyment is Direct Digital Path, a heavily shielded, high-quality cable that protects the delicate audio signal from noise emitted by the surrounding circuits. Previously only found on our high-end components, VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. The result — a virtually noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source to bring out even the most subtle of nuances in your music, movie soundtracks and even MP3s.

"I also use the 'programable' feature to program certain songs on specific CDs (i.e create a playlist of any of the songs on the CDs you put in) - it's always worked for me."
"I have mine attached to the surround speaker system for home theater. It sounds great and I can get hours of music, Very pleased customer here.Onkyo DXC390 6 Disc CD Changer."
"Bought this for my mother to replace a similar Sony 5 cd unit that finally died after 20+ years."
"But I found that I had several disc that had sections where I would loose the sound from one speaker, or cracking/popping sound, always at the same place."
"It works smoothly, easy to set up and use and the sound quality is great."
"3 months in and the machines brain is not working."
"When I played the same discs in another CD player, they worked fine, so the problem was this Onkyo DXC390 player and not my disc."

The result I obtained with the Onkyo was marvelous:wonderful sound,stability and good looks."
"For many years my system used a DVD player for playback, connected to a Harmon Kardon receiver and JBL Studio Series tower speakers. When I go home, all I want to do is play music...softly, loudly...jazz, rock, soul, pop, reggae...anything sounds great."
"What with cds fading from popular acceptance by a public which has become accustomed to low-fi MP3 sound, the availability of many models of cd players from first-line manufacturers has greatly diminished."
"I'm not a expert, just a guy who enjoys music. and to be honest I can't give you all the particulars, just that it sounds great, plays cd's I've burnt as well as store bought no problem."
"Other than that, the unit seems to be very well made. A very nice machine."
"Then, in order to get the unit repaired, I had to take to a center -- a horrible 1 1/2 hour killer traffic drive away -- or send it there at my expense, about $30 - $35 and the hassle. It goes to a place called Norm's in Duluth (Atlanta), Georgia, who take forever to fix anything based on two past experiences."
"After having a few cheaper ones over the years, I decided to purchase what I thought was nearly top of the line without going into professional or commercial. It is plugged into a high quality surge protector but after unplugging and waiting about 5 mins."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Unless you have excellent DA converters in your amplifier I would highly recommend that you connect this changer with high quality RCA cables. The display is very bright and the track number and elapsed time can be read from a distance of about 6 feet or so. You can't really read the disc numbers but you can figure it out as the circle around the playing disc number makes a mark that is visible from your listening chair. I don't think you are going to hear much better sound than this with any CD changer."
"It's odd not being able to rotate the slots to place the CDs in the appropriate indentions. You have to place them all in the open drawer, carefully sliding the CDs into the rear two depressions. This player is a must if you are a critical listener using high-quality headphones or audiophile speakers."
"This unit replaces a defunct earlier model that offered substantial reproduction, sorry for its demise."
"Have used about 4 months, like it, no conplaints."
"Outstanding machine, easy to use and absolutely no problems to date."
"My old CD player had died and I wanted a replacement but it had to be an above average player because my sound system is something I have been proud of for years."
"This unit includes a USB port so I can also use it with my IPod and other computer equipment."
"I would have given five stars if the CD tray would have rotated when inserting and removing the CDs."

"very satisfied with it and fast delivery."
"This piece of equipment arrived on time and intact."
"I had been looking for a single-channel home tape drive for some time at local electronics reatailers with no success when I came upon this unit after a brief online search. I picked up a dual tape unit at a used record store but it soon died, so I was happy to find this one, and at a lower price than I would have expected even for a single-tape unit."
"Got a second sent to replace it but after looking it over and playing it, it's a cheap plastic unit that looks more impressive in the picture."

Find Best Price at Amazon"And like many other people my age, the crates of vinyl got stored and rarely played. Well, recently while going through some old keepsake items, I kept looking at those old crates of records and caught a new vinyl bug. I did pick up an extra stylus head and opted for an Audio Technica AT440MLB cart and now this thing really sounds good. It comes with Audacity software to load onto your computer so you can just plug the unit into your computer and archive all your vinyl to MP3, etc. But it is a known fact on these Turntables, this built in Pre amp, even when not in use tends to darken or muddy up the overall sound or your records. I plan on keeping mine stock just in case I ever want to archive all my vinyl one day..and have worked around the whole "Muddy, Dark" sound issue with the use of the AT440MLB cart and a little ol thing called an EQ. A little EQ adjustment for Vinyl...store the setting in one of the six pre sets on the Technics EQ and all done. But if you just want to play your records with a quality unit that will sound great, not tear up your records and looks fantastic I highly recommend this unit."
"I have been listening to my vinyl more and more lately and, while there wasn't anything wrong with my old turntable, I just kept thinking/feeling that I wasn't getting the best sound from it so I started looking around for an upgrade. I'm not one of those guys who sits around in a smoking jacket sipping brandy... analyzing the sound quality of my music. It is heavy (there is a large metal weight bolted inside the bottom of the chassis (I found this out by watching a couple youtube videos). There are a lot of features here that I'll probably never use... not a DJ so I don't know that I really need to change the pitch of my music or play a record backwards. I fully expected the cover to cost a crazy amount of money and for it to be such a huge pain in the ass that I'd just say the heck with it."

"The Mpow in the picture has the (included) double male adapter inserted. If you pair your Mpow as a receiver, a long push on the '+' button will trigger the shutter on your iPhone ProCamera. That is, if you have the ProCamera App from the app store, which I highly recommend as it basically turns the iPhone 7 plus into a professional camera (RAW images, better HDR, low light options, manual control of focus, shutter and aperture, on screen histograms) I'm thinking this will come in very handy."
