Onkyo C-30 CD Player

Onkyo C-30 Icon Series Hi-Fi CD Player

Meet the Onkyo C-30 - an audiophile-focused CD player that brings modern precision to a timeless format. Its exclusive VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuit) filters pulse noise for a purer analog signal, while a high-precision ±10 ppm clock locks in stereo imaging and timing. A premium 32-bit/768 kHz stereo DAC, a fanless, vibration-resistant chassis with a blast-finished aluminum front panel, and gold-plated outputs round out a player built to reveal every nuance on your discs. Flexible connections (analog RCA, optical, and coaxial) and a front-panel headphone jack with level control make the C-30 effortless to integrate into any hi-fi system.
