Onkyo Icon C-30 – a New CD Player on the March
Onkyo has announced the release of a new CD player Onkyo Icon C-30. The model is part of the well-known line of audio components Icon Series and offers audiophiles with CD collections to enjoy high-quality playback of this format. Interestingly, the many technological innovations used in the model did not make the price of the device high - the Onkyo Icon C-30 CD player will go on sale in October 2025 at a recommended retail price of $ 349.
The Onkyo Icon C-30 CD player is equipped with a DAC supporting PCM with parameters up to 24/192 and a signal-to-noise ratio of 107 dB. The device uses proprietary Vector Linear Shaping Circuit (VLSC) technology, which, according to Onkyo, reduces impulse noise and provides a cleaner signal at the analog output. The player also uses a clock generator with an accuracy of ±10 parts per million (PPM) for improved synchronization.
The front panel of the Onkyo Icon C-30 CD player is made of thick aluminum, which minimizes body vibrations. On the back there is an unbalanced analog output on RCA connectors, as well as optical and coaxial digital outputs, providing a variety of integration options with both modern and classic audio systems. In addition to playing CDs, the Onkyo Icon C-30 supports CD-R and CD-RW discs, as well as MP3 and WMA files.
Full specifications and performance characteristics of the model will be available soon.
