The Onkyo C-7030 CD player delivers a superb playback experience. The key lies in keeping the audio signal clean and free from interference, all the way to the output stage. This player has a new high-precision clock to dramatically reduce timing errors, along with the original VLSC™ to reduce pulse noise. Driving the system is a massive, custom-built transformer that provides a clean and stable power supply. Given how affordable the C-7030 is, build quality is exceptional. A 1.6 mm-thick  flat chassis base helps reduce unwanted vibrations, while the sleek aluminum front panel provides an elegant finish.
