Unbelievable value.

It's a terrific value for anyone looking for a quality standalone CD player at a great price.

am still stunned as to the audio quality

This is just a great great value and a great sounding player!

This unit has everything I wanted: simplicity, great sound reproduction, and good value for cost

It looks good, sounds good, feels good, just a great product.

The design is sleek, easy to set up and operate, and possesses a speedy response time compared to my 5-carriage, Sony hunk-o-junk that stopped working properly in under two years

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

Good product and a price that is less than one would expect for this kind of build quality.

It's one solid product and will be a great success for Onkyo

The sound quality was excellent and it was easy to operate

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

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

For me, sound quality is more important than convenience

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

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

Woflson DAC- .flac file capable, .wav file capable and MP3 capable with any CD-R media that's burnt to properly

, this is about the only remaining single-play CD player at a reasonable price.

Lots of high end trickle down technology at a ridiculous low price.

To get the sound quality at a reasonable price I accepted a single disc player

player is very simple with no frills and appears to be well made with clean design.

tests.)Perhaps the best way to summarize this (most ridiculously long review of a less than $200 piece of equipment) would be to say that the Onkyo C-7030 is a great example of a system where good design and proper execution raise the whole a cut above the sum of its parts

As for the C-7030, first impressions are of a nicely designed and well constructed piece of hi-fi gear that sounds good sonically and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

The second issue is somewhat more involved as (it regards the player's transient response and) it could be caused by a variety of factors, such as: insufficient component bandwidth, low slew-rate of the active components (such as op-amps), improperly designed low pass-filters, gross variation in group or phase delays, etc

Personally, I don't like the design of the remote control

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

I was simply ignorant of different quality D

Seems to be a well built, simply designed CD player, which is just what I was looking for

This one is a beast, heavy, well built, and dang, it looks good

I was going to save and buy the NAD CD player, but this one is wonderful, cheaper, plus it has a very good headphone amp built in

In an age of dissapering CD players, and millenials willing to live with crappy music reproduction, grab this bargain before it too goes bye-bye.

I will strongly recommend this unit even for the the most critical music listener

so it's nice to have a dedicated unit to enjoy the music.

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

As a caution, you will want vibration isolating feet or some absorption layer as there is no buffering at all and thumps will go straight through the transport and disrupt your music.

I bought the C-7030 to replace a Cambridge Audio CD player that had died on me

excellent CD player, extremely low noise, even audiophiles will like it.

This has got to be the worst cd player I ever purchased

For the price I will say it's the best cd player out there.

This is a great sounding and well built CD player for the price.

Overall I like the Onkyo on Most music though I have noticed with headphones, some music sounds distorted and though I am Not a True audiophile there are passages that sound quite shrillas in Mahler 5th

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

At double the price, this Onkyo would still be a great bargain.

But I've had the Onkyo for 8 months now and its user interface annoys me every day, for the following reasons:-The previous CD players I've owned all had a calendar display that shows the tracks that have been programmed

(We have an Onkyo Receiver that works well and is still working.

my Sony 5 disc player finally died and I was looking at choices to replace it which are now limited because CD players are hard to come by any

This is a nice heavy, professional looking unit, well laid out and quiet

The CD play also looks very elegant, it has a clean simplistic look and all of the knobs feel very tight, not cheap and flimsy

The player works perfectly well and has a classic look!

I like the minimalist look to it, nice and clean, very upscale

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

This is a very good unit that will enhance your music experience.

If unit lasts a number of years, and build quality suggests it will,this player will prove a very good value.

I replaced a very expensive Harmon-Kardon unit with this Onkyo.

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

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

My office audio stack is comprised of a Marantz SR5009, Rotel RMB-1075 5 channel amp and the Onkyo C-7030.Audio sounds smooth and crisp and will probably sound even better after a couple weeks.

It only displays the track number being played and elapsed playback time of the individual song,,,nothing else

Woflson DAC- .flac file capable, .wav file capable and MP3 capable with any CD-R media that's burnt to properly

(The Onkyo would require fewer clicks than the Denon for tracks numbered higher than 30, but I've never had a CD with a track number that high

Thus, while some take it to be the true revelation, others believe the extra nuances and "new things" many have sworn they hear on SACD's are in fact nothing more than the nonlinear ringing (induced by that brutal noise shaping filter) and aliasing of that not-quite-random high frequency noise leaking into the audio band

, there is a very brief electrical "pop" or static noise.

excellent CD player, extremely low noise, even audiophiles will like it.

It also seemed to skip on perfectly good CD’s...which really surprised and annoyed me

The laser inside makes some funny noise like crickets when is scanning or playing the disc

After a short couple of short years this thing lost volume and distorts the music pretty badly.

The sound level output was half that of the Denon as well... requiring me to use a much louder amplifier volume setting to match that of the Denon

i don't like to play it loud, but this was an accident that showed me the volume was clear on the upper end as well as the mellow.

My old Sony had a headphone jack also, but no volume control, so it was impossible to use it because the volume was so loud and there was no way to adjust it

After a short couple of short years this thing lost volume and distorts the music pretty badly.

The laser on this unit proved to be the weak link in the chain, as I have

Don't forget - any system is only as good as its weakest link

I was okay with my nearly 10-year-old Sony 5-disc player whose turntable recently quit working, and it was honestly the specification weak link in my moderate quality 5 channel AV system anchored with a Denon AVR 3300 and Boston Acoustic speakers

Don't forget - any system is only as good as its weakest link

It has amazing sound, so much so, that I realized that my subwoofer was now the weak link in my system
