So close to audiophile quality

Reviewer: VINCENT G. from Rensselaer, New York 01/17/09
When you purchase an onkyo product you're making an investment. No matter how much or little you spend you're walking away a winner. I honestly don't know how onkyo can stay in business with the amazing prices they have. you definately get way more product than what you pay for. forget sont, forget denon, you need onkyo bottom line, this is hands down the best changer that i've ever had

Great CD Changer

Reviewer: CHARLES V. from Alexandria, VA 01/01/09
This one beats the Sony model on features, functions, and capacity. Sounds great using digital optical instead of RCA plugs. Excellent addition to any home audio/theater system.

Great basic CD player

Reviewer: KEVIN B. from Colorado 12/19/08
Purchased this from shopOnkyo at a great price as a basic replacement for a 5-disk Sony player that no longer recognized any disks. Great quality package as always from Onkyo, and great sound. Really like the ability to load disks while one is playing - the Sony couldn't do that!

great product

Reviewer: JOHN T. from springfield mo 12/05/08
Great price for the features it offers! No complaints! I got this CD player primarily because of the digital coax output (6-disc capability is nice too). I have enjoyed it since I bought it. The sound quality is great, and it has no problems reading discs that I have given it.

Excellent

Reviewer: Randy from TX 10/25/06
Replaced an old Sony changer with this player almost two years ago. Works extremely well with HT-S650.

Excellent

Reviewer: MIke from Detroit, mi 08/28/06
Plays all my cds and dvds with great sound and very clear. Love this system more and more each day. And Onkyo quality is better than anything out there.

Still great as day 1

Reviewer: pao from Clinton Twp, MI 04/03/06
Bought this product a year ago and flawless still! thanks onkyo

One Great CD Player

Reviewer: David from Bennington, VT 02/24/06
I purchased this CD player to replace an old Sony 5 disk player. There is no comparson in quality and sound. For the price, you can't beat it.

Great Sound and Look

Reviewer: Matthew from Romeoville 02/19/06
I have an old Onkyo receiver from the early 90s that is still going strong. I finally bought a cd player that is worthy of it. The sound is great and I can use one remote for both. I am very happy.

very clean sound

Reviewer: jim from california 02/18/06
This is my first experience with Onkyo, I am blown away by the clarity and richness of the sound. I first set it up using analog cables and the output level was VERY low, I thought it might be my amp. I then hooked up using the digital coax, problem solved.

Very pleased with this cd player.

Great product!!

Reviewer: Todd from Los Angeles 02/15/06
Bought this to go with my Onkyo 503 and it's fantastic. Highly reccommend!

Unbelievable sound

Reviewer: Rick H from Huntington WV 01/31/06
Did a lot of shopping around before deciding to go with this CD player and a TX8011 receiver. So far I've only played store-bought CDs but look forward to playing some home-made MP3s. The sound is fantastic and using the TX8011 allows me to use one remote for the receiver and CD player.

Fantastic

Reviewer: Lisa C. from Maryland 01/27/06
I ordered a refurbished unit from Onkyo. It was delivered in 2 days. The CD Player is fantastic, no cosmetic damages. The CD Player was really easy to hook up to my Onkyo receiver.

The sound is fabulous.

Great Product!

Reviewer: Garvin Prescod from Villanova, PA 12/31/05
This is just simply a very well put together system! You pay for what you get and some....

Great CD Player

Reviewer: Michael from Spring, TX 12/30/05
I bought this CD player primarily because of the digital coax output (6-disc capability is nice too). I have enjoyed it since I bought it. The sound quality is great, and it has no problems reading discs that I have given it. Great price for the features it offers! No complaints!

Great system, great price!

Reviewer: Chris from Utah 12/22/05
Easy to set up, and easy to use controls. I was impressed with how quiet the system is....

Great CD Changer

Reviewer: A. Burgener from Michigan 12/01/05
Been looking for something to play my MP disc's, have tried many sony dvd players, always seemed like something was missing, so i thought it was the MP3 format, but after getting this Onkyo CD changer i was wrong, my MP3s sound really good, I cant tell them from the CD now, nice display and works well with my Onkyo reciever, I like how the dimmer works with both.CD's sound great to, fast disc change too.

Great! Perfect Match for the TX-8511

Reviewer: Morris Booker from Murfreesboro, TN 11/24/05
And the beat goes on!

Bought this to go with my new TX-8511 hoping to keep the true sound I was already enjoying. Not disappointed at all. Churns out even my most worn mp3's with grace and beauty! I can't get enough of this! True audiophile sound and solid quality make this a great investment. Crisp and clear sound delivery with plenty of options for how to mix your tracks from disk to disk or however.

Ability to change disks without interrupting the disk being played is nice! Lighted tray allows you to keep the light mood when changing disks. A must when entertaining!

Earlier reviewer having trouble playing disk, make sure your burned disks are all "finalized" properly. This player should handle most all of them well if recorded correctly.

Of course, the unit integrates right in with other Onkyo modules for easy control on the RI remote. A great deal for sure!

Well Built and Solid Sound

Reviewer: John from California 11/02/05
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. I appreciate that it displays the MP3 name. Unit has analog, optical and coaxial outputs. My only complaints are that the changer could be a bit quicker and the unit itself seems a bit larger than it needs to be. Still this CD player is highly recommended. Sounds are good as the $800 Denon player I auditioned.

Nice CD Player

Reviewer: Karl from New Jersey 09/09/05
I bought a Sony 5 disc changer and returned it after realizing that the random play feature (Sony calls it shuffle) can only do one disc at a time. The Onkyo has a real nice sound. It's a little slow between songs in random mode but other than that I have no complaints.

WHy mine dx-390

Reviewer: Nancy from Vermont 08/15/05
I read all the great reviews but mine is a lemon...I have to hit the disk open close button at least 4x to get my player to read the cd's is constantly skips cd's and takes at leat 10 minutes to get it to play. I am very dissapointed with my system. I have emailed for support and get none. does anyone else have this problem?

Nice CD Player

Reviewer: Elton Robinson from Fort Lauderdale, FL 07/24/05
I bought tis player because I had a sony mega changer for a long time and need a new player and i am not disappointed for far. Clear , crisp sound.. Much better than my Sony.

Great cd player

Reviewer: Paul from Round Rock 07/11/05
I purchased this as a replacement for another Onkyo cd changer that has issues.

The sound is amazing, and the mp3 cababiltiy is a nice feature.

I love it !!!

Reviewer: John Stevenson from Salt Lake Cidy, Utah 04/20/05
It is the best CD player on the market

Love the CD Changer

Great CD changer

Reviewer: Marty from MD 04/14/05
When my Sony Cd changer died, I replaced it with the DX-C390. The difference was like night and day. The sound quality of the Onkyo was fair superior and the overall quality of build was much better.

dx-c390

Reviewer: Jermaine from Louisiana 01/06/05
This unit is in my brother's pool room. Overall, the unit has performed well with no problems. If you like a seperate player this unit will do everything you need.

Great Unit

Reviewer: Matt from Chattanooga, TN 12/28/04
More expensive than competitors, but worth it because it is better all around. Some of the competitors do not play mp3 files. Alos this unit(DX-C390) has a light above the CD tray which is very handy at nignt unless you have glow in the dark CDs.

Accurate And Awesome

Reviewer: Bruce Gibson from Brandon FL. 12/27/04
I like a seperate CD player and this one goes perfectly with my DV CP802. Super clean with exceptional warm and open sound, with the classic Onkyo build and look. Cost a little more than most but you are getting more.

CD changer

Reviewer: Ken Wallace from Omaha NE 12/10/04
I have needed a new cd changer for a few years now, and being I have a great ONKYO reciever (TX-DS838) it was only natural that I get an ONKYO CD changer. I must say that I am astounded by the sound quality that it provides.

Out with Denon in with Onkyo

Reviewer: EVA from MA 12/09/04
Replaced defunct Denon - cartridge load - device with the DX-C390. What a difference in all areas. Sound clarity is far superior, little to no noise when changing disks, easy to set up, easy to use controlls, and changing a CD while playing another is a great feature. Using one remote to control both my new CD player and my Onkyo receiver is a great plus. After owning an Onkyo PHC-5, Virtual suround sound system for several trouble free years, I decided to go Onkyo all the way. Great products, great prices and great reliablity.

Great Quality

Reviewer: Josephine from East Meadow, New York 12/03/04
I was in need of a new CD player for a very long time.. I already have an Onkyo Receiver and Equalizer. I went with the Onkyo DX-C390 because of the experience i recently had with onkyo products. It has a great sound.

Cd it!

Reviewer: David from Cape Coral , Fl 11/14/04
I picked up this at Circuit City for $199.99 I have been in need of a new unit for some time. Onkyo was the only one that could give both a good player and a great price

A step up

Reviewer: Franklin Black from Sarasota Florida 11/13/04
This is my first Onkyo product. I am very satified with the features, sound quality compared to the CD player I replaced. I am very interested in changing my amplifier to a Onkyo product.

Sound Clarity

Reviewer: Robert from Florida 11/05/04
I was pleasantly surprised how the sound quality improved, even with the same receiver and speakers that I used with my previous Sony player. The sound is clear and full.

Great Sound!

Reviewer: Anthony from Washington 09/11/04
My first Onkyo product and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Replaced an old (very old) Pioneer single disc player. My Bose 10.2s sound fuller than ever. Can't wait to fill it with my burned CDs, hit random, and enjoy hours of tunes.

great product

Reviewer: wayne holtz from monterey, ca. 08/14/04
great product-you dont have alot of excess noise that you would get on other cd players------price---you cant complain-----sound is fantastic

Best cd player available.

Reviewer: R.Y. from Tampa, FL 08/03/04
The sound quality is phenomenal-other high end cd players like Denon and Harmon Kardon don't come close.Versatility of cd-r,rw, and mp3 is great. Sound quality of mp3's at 192kps is as good as original audio cd.Mp3 navigation is excellent and easy to read display of folder and filenames.The drawer mechanism and changer are smooth and solid, only drawback is it is noisy when switching cd's. Other than that it is built like a tank compared to other models.The programming memory and features are a weak point compared to other players, and the absence of a display button on the remote is annoying-you have to use the display on the player to scroll between time modes. However, the Next cue up function is nice, as well as the repeat options.Only player available that has both optical and digital outputs on the back as well.Also, the mammoth size of this player might take some adjusting of your entertainment center.For the audio enthusiast, none of the combination dvd changers, not even Onkyo's have the construcion or audio range that this one has. A pure listening pleasure.

I love It

Reviewer: ED from PA 08/03/04
The ONKYO DXC390 plays my CDs very clear. Best of all it plays my 'burned' CD's without skipping. My old player could not handle home made CD's(they skipped and actual got scrached while being played.) The price was a little higher than all the other units I priced, But I am very happy with it. I read the reviews on alot of other players and they had problems playing 'burned CD's'. I love this

Great CD turntable!

Reviewer: RA from South Boston, MA 08/03/04
This new model DXC390 is great. I love the new features especially the remote button for power on/off and the tray light which can be dimmed and comes on brighter when the tray is opened. Also I connected it to my Onkyo receiver using a new coaxial cable, the RI connector and RCA connections. My old DXC370 was about 4 years old and was very reliable but got retired for the brand new 390 features. Love it!

Well Worth The Money

Reviewer: STR from Muskegon, MI 08/03/04
First I bought an RCA 5 Disc Changer RP-8078 that could also play MP3 files, I was very unhappy with almost every aspect of it. It was a lot less than I expected, especially the sound quality so I returned it.I went to Circuit City and bought the Onkyo6 Disc Changer DXC390 and paid about $100 more. I got it home hooked it up and I couldn't believe how good it sounded, I didn't know CD's could sound that good and it even plays MP3 Files and displays the Title, Artist, Album, etc.

Reviewer: Ike from Pittsburgh, PA 08/03/04
Love it. Easy to use and operate. The cd tray is silent with very little noise at all. The sound is crisp clear and clean.This is Onkyo's latest entry with a few new features such as 128X oversampling and mp3 playback making a worthy contender in the 150to 200 dollar range. It also has digital,optical and analog hookups along with r1 remote operation to hook up to other Onkyo products.All in all a great player at a great price.

Good Unit

Reviewer: Fishy from Charleston, SC 08/03/04
Good unit for the price. I like the random selection. Another unit I have only has a spiral rotational selection. The unit is a little larger than some other units which could cause a space problem.

Love it

Reviewer: Gregory Mueller MD from Beverly Hills, California 08/02/04
Great sound, easy set-up, perfect condition
