Overview
This Onkyo DX-C390-B is a 6-disc carousel changer with optical and coaxial digital outputs and a 24-bit/192kHz DAC, letting you swap up to five discs while the sixth keeps playing.
Unlike a single-disc deck, this carousel keeps one disc spinning while you load or swap the other five trays, and it adds optical and coaxial digital audio outputs so the signal can feed an outboard receiver's own conversion instead of relying only on the changer's onboard DAC. Onkyo's VQA (vector quantize audio) processing handles that internal conversion when the analog output is used instead.
- 6-disc carousel, 5 swappable during playback
- Optical and coaxial digital audio outputs
- 24-bit/192kHz VQA digital-to-analog conversion
- Six repeat modes including single-folder for MP3 discs
Who it's for
Fits a stereo or home theater rack where the receiver handles digital-to-analog conversion, since the optical and coaxial outputs let the changer pass a clean digital signal downstream. Less useful for someone who just needs a basic analog hookup and has no interest in a digital connection.
Pros and cons
- Optical and coaxial digital outputs included
- 24-bit/192kHz DAC with VQA conversion
- Swap 5 of 6 discs without stopping playback
- Listing mixes North American and export voltage specs
- No listed USB or iPod input
- Full-size carousel, not a compact unit
Performance notes
Playback covers audio CDs, MP3 CDs and CD-R/RW discs, with six repeat modes including a single-folder mode useful for navigating MP3 discs carrying more than one album. Onkyo lists a 96dB dynamic range and remote-controlled operation; the spec sheet in this listing mixes North American 120V and export 220 to 230V power figures, so it is worth confirming which regional unit is actually shipping.
