Port, and plays music straight off a USB thumb drive. It also connects to your iPod/iPhone via the USB
Naturally, theĬ-7070 plays audio discs or CD-R/CD-RWs and your favorite MP3/WMAĬompilation CDs. Meaning your music will sound clearer than ever. These improvements all but eliminate noise from the source, Wolfson 192 kHz/24-bit DACs-one for each channel-and Onkyo'sĭIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry). In addition, theĮlectrical system benefits from a precision clock, a pair of Machined-brass legs, a 1/16" (1.6 mm) thick flat-base chassis, anĪluminum CD tray with silent mechanism, a full-floating circuitīoard, and a handsome aluminum front panel. The unit is strengthened with vibration-damping The C-7070 is an extremely versatile and sophisticated piece ofĪudio equipment. Player, but Onkyo's engineering team had plenty of inspiration.

I think it is a good product because i can play albums that just don't work on my rega p3 elys setup like powerfull recordings and others that are just not to get on vinyl for normal people.
But as with a sober friend, it's not really fun to mess with. Coming from vinyl i had to adjust to the sober mentality of the Onkyo. Just as much as the recording forces it to. Well, the player doesn,t give much air or coloration into the performance. All the details come clean, bass is playful. Paired with Linn Majik-i (old series) integrated amp and Linn Katan speakers the player might not show its weak spots due to the generation gap (90s vs 2010s) and it doesn't. this continues on the inside where 2 different power supply units feed digital and the other the analog signal processing line and the drive is mounted an subframe, all solid metal. DVD and universal players using lightweight switchmode supplies don't come close in my opinion to providing the same listening experience as players such as the Onkyo C7000R and Denon A100.įirst impression: rock solid - player comes built from seperate aluminum housing plates, total weight is 12 kg.
This goes to show that in the world of cd players (and audio equipment in general) the most important spec to look for is weight if you care about sound. To ensure minimal signal interference, the C-7000R employs a thermally regulated super precision clock, PLL ultra low jitter technology, and a new circuit board construction. Like the Denon, the C7000R has bulk and weighs a hefty 26 pounds (both have big linear power supplies). The C-7000R brings together features and refinements to bring the very best out of your audio CDs and CD-R/RWs, and even MP-3 or WMA encoded discs you may have made on your computer. Might as well because they share the same smooth quiet metal transport and aluminum tray (rumored to be similar to the one in the $6K MCD500). But the two are similar enough in sound that they could've been models in the same line. The Denon is a tad more vivid and better in low end impact. I know of no budget player that can beat it, except the Denon A100, and only by a hair (I’ve had some good ones in my system – MCD201, Cambridge 840, Marantz 8001 & 8004, Sony 5400, Jolida 100, NAD 565, Emotiva ERC). Basically the kind of sound you get only in megabuck players. Very smooth neutral presentation with not a hint of brightness and deep tuneful vibrant bass. This gorgeous unassuming player delivers the goods.
