Overview
The Onkyo DX-C390 is a 6-disc CD changer that swaps 5 discs at a time while one keeps playing, built around a 192kHz/24-bit DAC for two-channel CD, MP3 CD and CD-R/RW playback.
Rather than a simple carousel, the DX-C390 lets you pull and reload five of its six trays without interrupting whatever disc is currently playing, aimed at listeners who want to queue up a stack of albums without babysitting the deck. Onkyo pairs that with a brushed aluminum front panel and an RI (remote interactive) remote for control alongside other Onkyo components.
- 6-disc changer, 5 swappable during playback
- 192kHz/24-bit DAC with 352.8kHz digital filter
- 40-track programming, 6 repeat modes
- Brushed aluminum panel with RI remote control
Who it's for
Suits anyone building a two-channel stereo rack who wants a multi-disc changer instead of loading one CD at a time, especially if the rest of the system already runs Onkyo remote interactive gear. Not a fit for someone who just wants a compact single-disc player.
Pros and cons
- Swap 5 of 6 discs during playback
- 40-track programming and 6 repeat modes
- 192kHz/24-bit DAC for CD, MP3 CD and CD-R/RW
- Full-size component footprint (about 17 x 5 x 17 inches)
- No listed digital output beyond the DAC's analog path
- Listed for 120V power only
Performance notes
The changer holds six discs but only locks one tray during playback, so five can be removed and replaced without stopping the music, useful for rotating through more albums than a single-disc player allows. Audio runs through a 192kHz/24-bit DAC with a 352.8kHz digital filter, and Onkyo lists a 96dB signal-to-noise ratio and 96dB dynamic range, specs aimed at a two-channel stereo setup rather than an all-in-one system.
