The C-30 is equipped with Onkyo's exclusive Vector Linear Shaping Circuit (VLSC) technology. This advanced technology uses algorithms to remove pulse noise from the signal path, resulting in a clean, distortion-free analog output.
The premium 24-bit/192 kHz Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) in the C-30 ensures high-resolution digital-to-analog conversion. Additionally, the CD Player boasts a high signal-to-noise ratio of 107 dB, providing quiet backgrounds and richly detailed audio.
The C-30 also features a high-precision ±10PPM clock for accurate timing and a focused, stable stereo image. To further enhance playback clarity, the front panel is made of vibration-resistant, blast-finished aluminum.
Connectivity options on the C-30 include Hi-Fi-grade RCA, optical, and digital coaxial outputs, making it easy to integrate with various premium audio systems. The CD Player is compatible with standard CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and supports MP3 and WMA file playback.
The audiophile-grade design of the C-30 reflects meticulous craftsmanship, and it retails at $349. The C-30 is available in both silver and black finishes, aligning with the other Icon Series components like integrated amps and pre-amplifiers.
Other products in the Icon Series lineup include the Icon A-50, a Class AB integrated 2-channel stereo amplifier, and the Icon M-80, a Class AB 2-channel Hi-Fi power amplifier. The Icon P-80 is a 2-channel network pre-amplifier with multiple outputs and streaming capabilities.
