The C-30 Hi-Fi Grade CD Player delivers outstanding performance and value in a refined, audiophile-grade design, retailing at just $349. Engineered for discerning listeners, it features Onkyo’s exclusive VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuit)—a proprietary technology that removes pulse noise from the signal path using advanced algorithms.

With an impressive 107 dB signal-to-noise ratio, the C-30 offers exceptionally quiet backgrounds and richly detailed audio. A high-precision ±10PPM clock ensures remarkable timing accuracy and a focused, stable stereo image, elevating your listening experience to true high-fidelity standards.

Engineered for exceptional sonic purity, the C-30 boasts a vibration-resistant, blast-finished aluminum front panel designed to reduce resonance and deliver cleaner playback. On the rear panel, Hi-Fi-grade RCA, optical, and digital coaxial outputs ensure effortless integration with a variety of premium audio systems.

Compatible with standard CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs, the C-30 also supports MP3 and WMA file playback, giving you versatile access to your entire music collection—always with uncompromising sound quality.
