Onkyo Integra DX-530

This is a Onkyo Integra Compact Disc Player with OPTO-COUPLING

(From Duane Walker) I first considered the Onkyo 530 based on brand reputation, specs. and the music file feature. When I auditioned the unit I compared it with Sony, Harman Kardon, Technics and Kenwood. I didn't expect to hear a discernable difference between the units. However I consistently picked out the Onkyo and the HK without knowing which unit was playing. I was informed by the salesperson that both the Onkyo and the HK used the same quartz-pulse technology (whatever that is). They were both clearly superior to the others (especially the Kenwood). I went with the Onkyo because of the disk memory system even though I paired it with a Harman Kardon AVR25 receiver. I've had it 18 months and have nothing but praise for it. I've read several complaints about the HK units and feel I made the right choice. I highly recommend the unit and give it top rating.

This unit looks fabulous and LIKE NEW. Works well and as it should. As this is an early '90's unit, it is fairly stable, but a bit more "pickey" on CD's and may, or may not play home-brew CD's. We were able to play about half of the one's that we had burned ourselves. Certainly will not play mp3 formats as that didn't exist as a main-stream format then. If you have an Onkyo Integra system with the high gloss, wood side panels, this will look GREAT! Does not Include original Onkyo RC-106C wireless remote control however there are extremely easy to acquire online on eBay.
