Onkyo DX-710 Hi-Fi CD player from the 90s
US$100 is fair-to-good for this deck, but not a steal; comparable used examples cluster more around US$50–US$80, with cleaner or refurbished units sometimes asking about US$75–US$150, so this sits a bit above the everyday used range without going off the rails.
The DX-710 is a solid mid-’90s single-disc Onkyo: respectable build, good transport feel, and a straightforward way to get that slightly warm, dependable vintage CD presentation. If it’s complete and reads discs quickly, it’s a sensible buy for someone wanting a well-regarded player rather than a collectible trophy. At this age, the main checks are the tray, disc loading, and whether the laser is still healthy; if those are confirmed, the asking price is reasonable.

Onkyo traces its roots to postwar Japan, founded in 1946 in Osaka by Takeshi Goda, an engineer at Matsushita Electric who envisioned high-quality Japanese loudspeakers. Initially established as Osaka Denki Onkyo K.K., the company began production in 1948 with the acclaimed ED-100 speaker featuring a 25 cm driver, quickly building a reputation through LP concerts and innovative designs that resonated with audiophiles.
The brand excels in premium home audio, renowned for AV receivers, hi-fi amplifiers, and surround sound speakers that deliver exceptional clarity and power. Its portfolio spans turntables, DACs, headphones, and cables, bolstered by acquisitions like Pioneer's home electronics division in 2015, enabling cutting-edge integrations such as internet radio and high-resolution streaming.
Onkyo holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by discerning buyers for reliable performance and value rather than ultra-high-end exotica. Despite bankruptcy challenges in the late 2010s, its revival under new ownership preserves a legacy of technological innovation and pure sound enjoyment, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and modern home cinema setups.
