This model is very solid and quiet mechanically, a must for me. All in all, Onkyo C-7030 is a cheap CD player with exceptional sound quality that lasts while it lasts. In this price range, the sound quality of Onkyo C-7030 is unbeatable. A tank of a player for the money.I think this model is essentially the same as the 370.Midway,soundwise,between the crispest and the darkest sounding players I have heard.(Multi-bit players tend to be more harsh,less "analog" sounding than this type?)*Remember that this 6-disc model is several inches longer than a 5-disc player in back,so measure your space first*.Cannot do anymore overall,any better,pricewise,than this beast of burden.Onkyo is the working-man's friend,almost "a drunkard's dream if I ever have seen one".I give 5 stars for value,no- problem.And,if each star represents 20-percent out of 100(5-times 20,OK?),and I give this an overall-rating of 92,because 8- percent better is all you can realisically expect from even the most costly players (yes,we pay thousands more for incremental improvements.Do not deny it.),I give this product 5 stars for overall status because it is really so close to the best you'll find,(100%).Which does not mean I am not looking,trying to spend more at every available chance. CD-player Onkyo Integra DX-5700 Review The Onkyo Integra DX-5700 is a versatile compact disc player with a number of circuit features designed to minimize extraneous noise pickup and distortion at all signal levels. Give it an SACD, however, and itll outplay a budget player that only accesses the CD layer. I previously owned a multiple disc Onkyo CD player but opted for a single disc model this time. Of course, one of the selling points of Onkyo C-7030 is that it is able to render the highest of the frequencies without hissing or crackling.
