Features & Specs Line Circle

Vector Linear Shaping Circuit (VLSC)
Proprietary Onkyo noise-shaping removes pulse noise after the DAC, resulting in a smoother, more natural analog signal and audibly lower distortion.
±10 ppm Master Clock
The C-30’s high-accuracy clock improves timing precision for a more stable soundstage and sharper stereo imaging.
32-bit/768 kHz DAC Inside
A premium stereo DAC architecture reduces distortion and preserves micro-detail, so CDs and MP3/WMA discs sound open and refined.
Rigid, Vibration-Resistant Build
A flat, resonance-controlled chassis and blast-finished aluminum front panel minimize mechanical vibration for cleaner playback.
Ready for Any System
Choose gold-plated analog RCA, or feed an external DAC/amp via optical/coaxial digital outputs (PCM 16-bit/44.1 kHz); enjoy private listening with the front-panel headphone jack and level knob.
Versatile Playback
Supports Audio CD, CD-R/RW (MP3/WMA), with Random, Memory (program) and Repeat (all/one) modes—including Random+Repeat—for easy, flexible listening.
