I have a beautiful Onkyo DX-C390 6 disc changer that works great and comes with a remote. A little more about this player. The Onkyo DX-C390 is praised as a solid, feature-rich 6-disc CD changer, offering excellent, clean sound with audiophile tech like VLSC for smooth audio and convenient continuous play by swapping discs during playback, though some users find the disc-to-disc transitions slow and noisy, especially in random shuffle, and note its relatively large size and basic display compared to newer tech. It's valued for its robust build, versatility (MP3/CD-R/RW), and ability to provide uninterrupted music, making it great for dedicated CD collections despite minor interface drawbacks.
Are you specifically after the convenience of a multi-disc changer? At US$230, this is a fair price, though not a standout bargain: it sits above the US$170 median but comfortably below the US$347 75th percentile in 722 comparable listings. With unknown condition, the value depends heavily on whether it is tested and complete.
The DX-C390 remains a useful, capable changer, with a six-disc carousel, programmable playback, and both optical and coaxial digital outputs. Its analogue output is also perfectly respectable for a practical CD-based system, while Onkyo’s remote integration can be handy with matching equipment. Before buying, confirm that all six positions load and change correctly, every disc reads reliably, and the remote is included; those details matter more than small cosmetic wear on a unit of this age.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
