Onkyo DX-C390 6-Disc Carousel CD Changer
The Onkyo DX-C390 is a celebrated 6-disc carousel CD changer that has remained in Onkyo's lineup for an incredibly long time (first appearing around 2004) due to its reliability and high-quality audio components. It is often cited as the "gold standard" for those who still prefer physical media.

1. Core Audio Quality
Unlike many budget changers, the DX-C390 was built with "audiophile" intentions:
-
Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC): Onkyo's proprietary technology designed to remove pulse noise from the digital-to-analog conversion process, resulting in a smoother, more "analog" sound.
-
192 kHz / 24-bit DAC: High-precision digital-to-analog conversion for crisp audio fidelity.
-
Direct Digital Path: A heavily shielded, high-quality cable internally routes the signal to the back panel to protect it from noise emitted by the surrounding circuits.
2. Playback Features
-
6-Disc Carousel: Holds one more disc than the standard 5-disc competitors.
-
Disc Exchange: You can open the tray and swap out five discs while the sixth one continues to play.
-
Format Support: Plays standard Audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded CDs.
-
Next Selection: A unique feature that allows you to "cue up" the next track you want to hear without interrupting the one currently playing.
