Theoretically better sound could be had if the analog output from the CD player is high caliber enough but that's up against a fairly steep hill with the prowess of my DAC.
#WALL MART ONKYO CD PLAYER SERIES#
My main setup is a laptop+DAC option (Qutest DAC from Chord Electronics with a series of 3 USB components for a pretty pure datastream from my laptop) and I'm interested to see if even better fidelity can be had with either a good CD player direct to my headphone amp via RCA analog connection or direct transport to my DAC via optical Toslink. It's the Beauty of the Machine and the Content!įor me, remembering a great deal on a piece every time I turn it on is part of it.Hey guys I read the C-7030 may be a good CD player. Perfect Imaging Triangle centered on Monitor/Keyboard, awesome. Same.ĥth HP Slimtop Computer's Drive to Carver SS, now Luxman Tubes to both B&W and now Wharfedale Bookcase/Sub combo. Gave the huge Onkyo away.ģrd: Oppo Blu-Ray player, highly regarded for music: not obviously better than the Carousel, gave it to my friend, he uses it for transport only.Ĥth: Sony Blu-Ray player in 'all Sony' small home theater. It's drawer eventually became problematic, fixed, problematic, annoyed.Ģnd: Sony 5 disc Carosel, slim, stackable, retrieved from neice's garage sale (she lost the remote)Ĭompared the Onkyo with the Sony Carousel, myself and my friends.
Little brushes clean the tracking and read optics. Go to Walmart and get a CD Optics Cleaner Disc. It has little brushes that clean the tracking and reading optics.
That difference is repeatedly felt before the music begins, continues while listening, beefs up when turning the beauty off.ġst: Massive Onkyo with dual burr brown processors, single play, substantial build & spinner Onkyo 6 CD player will not read CDs goes through all CDs doesnt read or engage. Helping several wealthy clients select equipment years back, I realized, aside from performance, you have to LIKE/LOVE a piece of equipment EVERY time you turn it on. player from Walmart! Less 'great' content (most), quite enjoyable: good, better, best player isn't going to make the experience any better IMO. I stopped buying them.įor me: It's the content: the musicians, songwriting, talents, great recording engineers that are worth listening to, those discs sound great on a $35. But the difference I hear is in the quiet passages, extremely low noise, I came to feel an unnaturally quiet background. SACD/CD: I hear differences in SACD/CD versions, always have, with any player. I'm content to know I tried for 'better' CD, again, but in the end: not really worth it. Was it worth it? Hear Differences? Differences, if heard, matter? New interconnect cables direct to Integrated Amp. My Onkyo did that, but with two sets of outputs: fixed jacks and variable jacks, not a menu choice. It also has optional volume settings: fixed, preamp or amp changes the volume OR, it has remote volume itself. it has 'Pure Audio' mode (all video functions are 'out', including the display). I researched, asked for help here, decided to go for an OPPO 105 Blu-Ray player. The opposite of re-discovering LP's after years of CD's. While my TT was temporarily down, I re-discovered my best/favorite CD's and SACD's. I re-visited my: Main Office Garage/Shop systems. Within the last 2 years: Cooped up with Covid Inherited Some Money and 4,000 lps SS back to Tubes Buying LP's again Wife retired, listening together Selling LP's on eBay I ain't deaf yet: I hear differences, prefer LP to CD, prefer R2R tape to LP prefer Tube to SS. Anyone have experience with these players? Any other suggestions? smooth, natural, musical, holographic image, but light on dynamics and soundstage. I have identified a few different used players that seem to check the short list boxes: Audio Research cd 7 SE, Ayon cd10 Signature II Ultimate, Ayon cd35 Signature I and Luxmanĭ-06u. at my age presumably the last I will own. As I have an extensive CD collection, this set me off to evaluate a new CD player for my system.
I am not sure I would say it was better but it was different and in a very good way. I recently had the opportunity to listen to a “new generation” CD player on a friends system. I figured that most of these were flat earthers. I did notice that lately, a number of posters have been claiming that CD is “better” than streaming. Overall, I have been happy with this decision. When my last CD player fell of its perch, I move to streaming audio. I like my vinyl but digital has its own set of benefits.
