Onkyo DXC390 Reviews
Operation is very good
When figuring the required depth of cabinet, take into account the added length of the analog connections. I had to cut an oblong hole through back plate of cabinet. The very back of the analog connections and wires protrude through. No big problem since it's in the back. There are pauses in different operations (starting play, disc selection, etc.) but nothing that causes concern. My old disc player had some. Maybe not quite so many or long. These are not noticeable enough to cause concern or disturb what is playing. Disc player cabinet could use lights on more controls/buttons but a small flashlight works if needed.
Not what it used to be
In the past 20 or so years I have used at least four different units of the DX-C390 CD changer and have really liked them for their functionality and sound quality. Recently I felt the need to replace one of my changers with a brand new one as the drawer was malfunctioning. First thing I noticed with the new unit was that the loading times had gotten much longer than before and it took at least three seconds for a track that was cued up to start playing when the play button was pressed. Additionally noticed that the unit no longer supports gapless playback, a standard feature on most CD players of the past. If you have a CD that has seamless transitions of music between tracks the player will introduce a couple of seconds of silence where the track transitions to the next. It boggles my mind that Onkyo really messed up a fine CD player with these changes in how the player functions.
