The sound quality is very good, close to the sound quality of my other two CD decks (which are more expensive, and from Denon and Sony, both manufactured on early 90's)

no way a good product though the sound quality is not bad but get ready for skips and slips.

It provides very good quality sound and is simple and straight forward to operate.

A GOOD QUALITY POWER SUPPLY AND WOLFSON

The sound quality is an astonishing improvement over our old unit

This new machine sounds great in the limited time it's been in use, just need to properly test it with some of my questionable-quality discs....

And last but not least ; sound quality in outstanding A good buy..

Now we can't listen to great music enough ~ Love the quality of the player & our CD's sound awesome.

To me that meant a decent power supply and good build quality (it is fairly heavy for a cd player)

The sound quality of the optical output was the clear winner

However, note that this cd player does not output the data in I2S externally (just coax and optical) and thus, if the external DAC cannot strip the source clock coming with the data and re-clock internally, the connection jitter may deteriorate the output quality

Again, remember, this is coming from a guy previously never owning a cd player remotely near or rivaling the quality of this Onkyo, but I do KNOW quality when I hear it(vinyl record aficionado for the past several decades,also,here)

Looking inside, the build quality is very good, I see no reason for unit failure based on the build

This is an affordable, quality CD player that works very well

Great quality product.

Great quality for a reasonable price!

Onkyo C-7030 Compact Disc Player (Black)Enjoy this economical, quality Onkyo CD player.

Great quality

Good quality sound but the controls are not very easy to read or obvious as to what each one represents except for Play, Stop and Skip..

The sound quality was good, however, before I could get through the initial break in period, both units began making a noticeable cracking or popping sound when changing tracks.

Sound quality is excellent (I am an audio engineer)

This appears to be a solid unit and the sound quality is great.

I opted to go with this unit hoping for longevity with the mechanical simplicity of a single CD drawer and decent quality DACs

The sound quality is superb, and the product is a perfect match for my system.

The sound quality Is excellent.

The sound quality from the Onkyo is astonishingly superior to the DVD player it replaces

Great build quality and the sound is stellar.

Great machine, really improved the quality from my CDs

This is a high quality well constructed dedicated CD player without any unneeded "bells and whistles

Good construction quality, with surprisingly hefty face plate and power supply

Proves, like the Harman-Kardon HK-4390 amp I run (I don't care that it's a receiver, the power supply is sweet!), that excellent quality need not always come at a ridiculous price point

The CD players are not the best quality

It just improved the quality of music that flows out of my Energy speakers now

Sound quality is excellent, now I can once again enjoy my CD collection like I did before MP3...

Really nice player, quality and features are both good value for the price.

Good quality sound, easy to use, interfaces easily with my Onkyo receiver and remote.

The sound quality is perfect nice and crisp .Nice features , the remote is nice , the green display ,Metal front face is great not the Cheap Plastic on the front

sound quality is good although I had to reset the tone balances because of a somewhat greater brightness of tone produced by the player

The sound quality was excellent and it was easy to operate

Solid CD player with superb build quality.

Excellent quality, exceptionally clear sound.

Excellent quality, exceptionally clear sound.

Excellent sound quality

good quality.

It is connected to my system through an Optic connection which enhances the quality of playback even more with the digital interface.

The preamps are top quality and it shows when I crank my music

As you may know, the high performance headphone usually need a amplifier to get good sound quality, the small MP3 player or even the laptop is not powerful enough to drive the headphone

Awesome sound and excellent quality

The sound quality is superior.

Unless you are using a higher quality "stand alone" DAC be sure to use the analog outputs of this deck for optimal sound quality

The sound quality is very good, it was easy to connect to his system, and the price was excellent for the quality.

The Onkyo CD player 7030 has excellent sound in this price range, it plays CDs and MP3 and the sound quality is clean.

Nevertheless, the performance of any analog filter will depend on the tolerances and quality of the parts used and the stability of its power supply

Decent sonic quality, with details not heard on my previous portable Panasonic SL-MP70 CD/MP3 player

To get better sound quality you'd probably have to pay several times the price of the C-7030.Update

Worth every dime and the build quality is excellent.

If you want to improve the quality of your sound then consider investing in better speakers.

Fast loading times, simple remote, great sound quality

It is all about a great stereo sound and this player delivers, great for a good quality home stereo system.

High quality construction and very easy to use.

The sound quality of the C-7030 Onkyo C D player is quite good but it is a little on the bright side for my taste; I have also noticed that this player stops playing and cycles back to reading disc at the start if there is the slightest bit of dust or fingerprint on disc; some of these discs play fine on my Nakamichi CD 200 5 disc changer w/out any wiping brushing or cleaning

Not only does it look great and have a well laid out remote, the quality of sound has improved substantially over my previous player

This player is perfect, everything I didn't know I needed in pure unadulterated sound quality.

Solid product with very good sound,good looks and quality feel.

Good sound quality.

Exceeded my expectations, quality is excellent, looks very nice and matches my Kenwood receiver, delivery was on time, packageing was in tact

The sound quality is only fair, with a wandering bass image that booms at some frequencies and goes soft at others.

AVOID the poor build quality, extremely poor performance, tracking and the absence of support from Onkyo..

The RCA cables were good quality "Worlds Best Cables 4 Foot RCA Cable Pair - Made with Mogami 2534 Neglex Quad - High-Definition Audio Interconnect Cable and Neutrik-Rean NYS" at $36 a pair used with the proper

The player has a nice weight to it, so I assume the components are good quality

Nice quality single disc player

I've only had a few months so far, sound quality is excellent, will it hold up, that is the question

Onkyo amplifiers which are perfectly working till these days.but this CD player is of really really bad quality

didn't lead to finding a good quality player at a reasonable price that fit my available shelf space to accommodate a multi-player footprint

The build quality is good

I have a good quality Onkyo single CD player and a few Oppos

Bravo Onkyo for recognizing some of us appreciate quality!

I has good quality sound until last week.

The sound quality and operation of this CD player is excellent.

I think it is a very good quality for the price.

I will say that the analogue output connectors do not have the golden tone that many audiophiles like, but they look to be of better quality than what I have seen on some pricey players, as they have a nice flanged base.

Poor quality product

The second fix seems to have done the trick...hooked it up yesterday and am very pleased with the smooth performance and the quality of output.

A converted quality aside, the quality of the analog line output is surprisingly harsh and lacking in warmth - and, hot enough to overdrive my vintage Scott amp, which has since been retired in the interest of stepping into the 21st century.

Excellent quality CD player!

Sound quality is not as good as expected, even not as good as my very old NAD c541i

Great sound quality, solid transport, clean design.

The likely explanation is the better quality digital to analog converter in the receiver.

I find it it highly suspect that it is the unit's build quality as a problem when folks have issues with this player

I have yet to use the headphone jack but can't see a problem with it, as all the review pertaining to the CD player only praise the sound quality with headphones

For me, sound quality is more important than convenience

very nice player have had it for a few months now and no problems nice quality, heavy, silent transport, you will here all the music on your cd's

greatly!!Built sturdy-quality wise its outstanding--cd drawer nice&smooth!

The Onkyo had not only the DAC I was looking for but a decent build quality...including the transport

The sound quality to MY ears is impeccable(I've only been utilizing the provided RCA cables and not the optical or coax digital options on the back chassis panel)

Amazing quality

The sound quality is fantastic, and I have it hooked up through the analog output, as my Sony receiver does not have a digital input.

The audio quality is spectacular, and if you are in the market to add a dedicated CD player, I highly recommend this Onkyo unit.

good build quality and sound for very reasonable $

Would recommend this unit to anyone who wants good sound quality at a reasonable price.

Poor quality make , the CD tray is not very smooth and jumps a little at the end when opening

Solid construction, excellent sound quality, attractive design, MP3-capable, and very reasonable price.

Power is supplied by a large, well shielded EI type transformer (not some cheap switching power supply), the amplification duty is performed by JRC/NJM4580 dual op-amp chips and the caps seem of very good quality

Very good quality as usual.

The build quality and aesthetics are exceptional for a cd player in this price range (almost weighs 12 lbs.).The centralized placement of the cd tray is aptly located without mistaking this for a low end generic cd player or low budget dvd player

Very good sound quality, but stopped working after only 4 years.

Based on the above info and the overall issues I hear with the sound quality, I am downgrading this review to two stars because even if the unit had been new and unopened previously, the sound quality is unforgivable

Onkyo is known for good quality CD players and this unit proves it.

Great sound...real audiophile quality at a budget price

Great quality!

Well the sound quality coming out of my nice Bose bookend speakers is just fantastic

The sound quality is excellent and it appears to be very well constructed

Lots of metal, good quality drive mechanism, excellent sound quality, and very attractive

The physical quality and the sound quality couldn't be better for the price

Powerful, rich sound quality, good design

A converted quality aside, the quality of the analog line output is surprisingly harsh and lacking in warmth - and, hot enough to overdrive my vintage Scott amp, which has since been retired in the interest of stepping into the 21st century.

Great price, excellent sound quality...

The sound quality is that good

I grabbed a clean Q Tip and carefully removed it

My C-7030 is in pristine condition and was never treated with less than tender affection, and it's as good as

Everything works as it should, the sound leaves nothing to my ears to be desired, and what more can one ask from a piece of home audio equipment.

am still stunned as to the audio quality

The sound is as good as, if not better than the high-end REGA CDP!

I listened to several different genres of cds, with Sennheiser 598 and Sony 7506, plugged directly into the headphone jack of the cd player as well as into Onkyo tx609 amplifier, trying the analog RCA and the digital coaxial connections

so I don' t expect any damage to the unit
