Product Information

Music lovers rejoice!

Those looking for the ultimate in CD playback from an audiophile-grade component will be impressed with a high-precision, multi-bit D/A converter and 128 x oversampling. Others looking for convenience will thrill at the sight of 6-disc capability, 6 repeat modes, 40-track programming, and no worries about interruptions to your music, with the ability to change 5 discs while the last one is still playing. All will marvel at the crystal-clear playback, enhanced by an exclusive VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry), for a smoother-sounding audio signal. Just as crucial to your sonic enjoyment is Direct Digital Path, a heavily shielded, high-quality cable that protects the delicate audio signal from noise emitted by the surrounding circuits. Housed in a sturdy chassis graced with a brushed aluminum front panel, the DX-C390 is ready to provide hours of uninterrupted music for the soundtrack to your life. Just hook it up to a receiver and some speakers (or skip the receiver and go right to powered speakers) and you're good to go.

*Note: This CD changer component is deeper than a single CD player, so we recommend that you measure your space before ordering: Dimensions (W x H x D): 17-1/8" x 5-3/16" x 17-1/16"

Features

  • Single-Bit DAC: Multi
  • 6-disc Changer: Carousel
  • Number of Repeat Modes: 6
  • Random Track Memory: 40
  • Direct Track Access: by remote
  • Digital Output (Optical/Coaxial): 1 Optical/1 Coaxial

Unique Design Concept

Change up to 5 discs while one is still playing with the DX-C390’s exclusive 6-disc carousel design. Also, an elegant light is conveniently located above the loading mechanism for easy disc recognition when changing in the dark. And when you open the tray to put in your favorite music, you’ll be amazed at the lack of sound with its exclusive ultra-quiet loading mechanism.

Exclusive Direct Digital Path

Unlike other CD players that use PC-board copper traces to transfer the digital audio signal, the DX-C390 employs a high-purity, heavy-gauge, shielded cable to directly output the digital bitstream straight from the disc to the back panel. The result is a noise-free digital audio signal that is less susceptible to flux.

VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)

Conventional D/A conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but can’t remove it completely. Previously only available on Onkyo’s high-end components, VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) employs a unique D/A conversion circuit to overcome this problem. Data is converted between the sampling points and these discrete sampling points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output waveform. The result—a noiseless, smooth analog signal based on the digital source.

MP3 Playback

Instead of using your small computer speakers, you can play your MP3 files via the DX-C390—up to 10 hours or more of music on a single disc, depending on the bit rate of the MP3 files. Play these back with Onkyo’s exclusive VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) to bring out the nuances and clarity you would have never thought possible.

Nice CD changer
This is a nice 6-disc CD changer which I purchased to replace a still-working, 20+ year-old Sony 5-disc CD changer which would cycle past a CD now and then.

The Onkyo was relatively easy to set up. I say "relatively" because I'm still having trouble getting it to display song titles during playback. I followed the instruction manual on 3 or 4 attempts but wasn't able to get this feature to work. (I'm sure it's operator error.)

One feature the Sony CD changer has, which the Onkyo lacks, is a display showing how many tracks remain to be played on a given disc.

Still, the fact that the Onkyo handles 6 discs (whereas the Sony only handles 5 discs) makes up for the aforementioned shortcoming.

Given that CD changers are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and the fact that I got this at a great price during a black Friday sale, I'm happy with this purchase. (Although a bit sad about the Sony being set aside. Perhaps I can find another use for it or another home for it.)

If you're looking for a great CD changer, I highly recommend the Onkyo DX-C390.

Easy to use & the sound is great. And for those of us who still like to listen to their CD collection on a long lazy morning the 6 CD tray is fabulous.

Can this unit be programmed for playback individual DVD's at different times and days?
A shopper on Jun 5, 2018
  Thanks very much for your question! This unit can only play CDs, and will not play DVDs. It does not have the ability to be programmed in that way.
Does this player have its own built in speakers?
gale b on Sep 20, 2017
  No, DXC390 requires a stereo amplifier and speakers or self-powered speakers to play CDs.
Will this unit play burnt cds?
Bob F on Aug 8, 2017
  Yes it will play CD-R and CD-RW discs if properly 'closed' during the creation process.
Any time frame on availability?
A shopper on Oct 20, 2021
  Please call us at 866.961.7781. Our product specialists are here to assist with questions on pricing and availability. Thanks.
where is it made?
A shopper on Nov 19, 2017
  Thank you for your inquiry. All Onkyo product is manufactured in China.
How long after placing an order should I receive a email confirmation?
A shopper on Aug 16, 2017
  You should receive an order confirmation email within minutes of placing our order.
Does she he only o ex c390 need a receiver ?
A shopper on Feb 28, 2023
  Thanks for your inquiry. A CD player or CD changer output jacks must be connected to a receiver or integrated amplifier which drives a pair of passive speakers. Another option is a connection to powered speakers.
What is the difference between the 390 and the 390B?
A shopper on Oct 5, 2022
  Thanks for your inquiry. The B suffix refers to the color, black. Onkyo models are only available in black.
will this CD Player program a 'Pause' in-between tracks ?
A shopper on Nov 3, 2017
  Thank you for your inquiry! No, it does not. This will only play normally, it will not automatically pause between tracks.
CD player comes on an shows its playing CD but there's no sound from speakers ?
Eddie D on Sep 20, 2017
  Please make certain that you select the input that you plugged the player into on the front panel of your amplifier.
What does it mean when standby light is on and receiver don't function?
A shopper on Aug 2, 2017
  A Stand-By lamp on the CD Changer will indicate nothing having to do with your receiver's functionality.
What are the dimensions of the DX-C390 cd player?
A shopper on Aug 2, 2017
  The manufacturer publishes the following dimensions (W x H x D): 17-1/8' x 5-3/16' x 17-1/16'. It is a bit deeper than a single disc player due to the diameter of the carousel that accepts 6 compact discs.
do you need to attach speakers or is this a stand alone system?
A shopper on Jul 22, 2017
  This requires a stereo amplifier and speakers to play music. My go to for this piece would be the Onkyo TX-8140 to drive the speakers and a pair of the Elac B6 bookshelf speakers. We have a wide variety of excellent speakers that would work with this CD changer here: https://www.worldwidestereo.com/categories/speakers
