Very good cosmetic condition with minimal shelf wearBrushed aluminum faceplate clean and brightAll buttons, display, and disc carousel function correctlyTested with multiple discs across all 6 tray positionsNo remote control
This is a strong deal at US$100, sitting below the 25th percentile of US$95 and well under the median of US$138 for the Onkyo DX-C390. While a recent refurbished listing asked US$119 without a remote, your price offers immediate value even with that missing accessory, making it a clear bargain compared to the broader asking-price range of US$95–US$275.
The DX-C390 remains a respected 6-disc carousel changer known for smooth loading and reliable MP3-CD playback, offering genuine convenience for physical media collectors. Since the price is below median and the condition is listed as very_good, the lack of a remote is a minor trade-off rather than a deal-breaker; many enthusiasts already have universal remotes or don’t mind manual operation. This is a timely buying opportunity for a solid, well-loved unit at an excellent entry point.

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.
