Onkyo C-30 CD Player with Vector Linear Shaping Circuit

For nearly a century, Onkyo products have been the heartbeat of home entertainment. Discerning AV enthusiasts around the globe trust Onkyo reliability and performance. That history and reliability have been passed down to Onkyo’s new CD player, the C-30. The C-30 delivers beautiful, pure sound from a new, sophisticated design case that began with the ICON Series.

Engineered for discerning listeners, it features Onkyo’s exclusive VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuit) - a proprietary technology that removes pulse noise from the signal path using advanced algorithms. The result is a clean, distortion-free analogue output revealing every nuance of your music with breathtaking clarity.

A high-precision ±10PPM clock ensures remarkable timing accuracy and a focused, stable stereo image, elevating your listening experience to true high-fidelity standards. Combined with fan-less design to eliminate noise, premium stereo DAC (32bit / 768kHz) that reduces distortion, and extrusion aluminium heat sink for vibration suppression, this preamp lays a solid foundation for superior sound.

Engineered for exceptional sonic purity, the C-30 boasts a vibration-resistant, aluminium front panel designed to reduce resonance and deliver cleaner playback. The front panel of the C-30 has a sandblasted finish. This retains the texture of the aluminium while reducing gloss and giving it a luxurious feel.

On the rear panel, Hi-Fi-grade RCA, optical, and digital coaxial outputs ensure effortless integration with a variety of premium audio systems. The C-30 supports playback of CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, and WMA.
