Onkyo C-7070 silver

It’s hard to imagine how one could improve upon a humble CD player, but the engineering team at Onkyo found all sorts of ways. For 2011, the C-7070 is an extremely versatile and sophisticated piece of audio equipment. The unit is reinforced with vibration-damping feet, a 1.6 mm-thick flat chassis, an aluminum die-cast tray with silent mechanism, a floating circuit board, and an impressive aluminum front panel.

In addition, the electrical system benefits from a precision clock, a pair of Wolfson 192 kHz/24-bit D/A converters (one for each channel), and DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry). These enhancements eliminate noise from the source, meaning your music will sound clearer than ever. Naturally, the C-7070 plays audio or CD-R/CD-RW discs and your favorite MP3/WMA compilation CDs.

It also connects to your iPod/iPhone via the USB port, and plays your music directly from a USB flash drive. The three-stage dimmer function, gold-plated audio terminals, and discrete headphone amplifier offer further proof of Onkyo’s attention to detail. It all adds up to a player that, like your CD collection, will give you years of enjoyment.
