Plays Audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 (CD-R, CD-RW) and WMA (CD-R, CD-RW).Build quality starts from the ground up with a highly rigid, 1.6 mm-thick, fully flat chassis that provides excellent protection against shelf-borne vibrations. When it comes to parts and construction, it's not in Onkyo's DNA to cut any corners.

Thanks to these advanced design features, the disc mechanism offers smooth and silent operation.

Furthermore, the disc tray is precision engineered from high-rigidity, die-cast aluminium. Although these DACs can process two-channel audio on a single chip, Onkyo employs separate chips for each stereo channel, to ensure the most accurate digital-to-analogue conversion.Īffixed to four supports made of rigid machined brass, the Onkyo C-7070's CD drive provides excellent resistance to internal vibrations. The player incorporates two 24-bit WM8742 DACs. High-quality Wolfson digital-to-analogue converters work to optimize analogue audio performance on the Onkyo C7070. The C-7070 uses a state-of-the-art crystal oscillator that achieves a frequency deviation of ☑0 ppm-much lower than with a conventional oscillator. The Onkyo C 7070 boasts a precise clocking mechanism that controls and coordinates the timing of all digital signal processes-rather like how a conductor directs and coordinates the individual instruments of an orchestra. By improving linearity and reducing distortion in the super-high-frequency range, Onkyo's DIDRC technology effectively reduces perceptible noise and delivers clearer-than-ever audio. Such distortion in the super-high-frequency range can generate "beat interference", which in turn affects the character or atmosphere of the original sound. Despite being beyond the normal range of human hearing, frequencies above 100 kHz are susceptible to clock pulse and other forms of distortion from digital devices. To reduce this type of noise, Onkyo has developed DIDRC technology for use in our hi-fi components. However, the S/N ratio reflects static noise only, and takes no account of another type of noise that occurs as the by-product of sound reproduction- dynamic noise. Since the advent of digital audio, signal-to-noise ratios have improved dramatically. All this adds up to a player that, like your CD collection, will be around for a long time to come.

The three-stage dimmer function, gold-plated audio terminals, and headphone amplifier differential circuitry offer further evidence of Onkyo's attention to detail. It also connects to your iPod/iPhone via the USB port, and plays music straight off a USB thumb drive. Naturally, the Onkyo C-7070 CD player plays audio discs or CD-R/CD-RWs and your favourite MP3/WMA compilation CDs. These improvements all but eliminate noise from the source, meaning your music will sound clearer than ever. In addition, the electrical system benefits from a precision clock, a pair of Wolfson® 192 kHz/24-bit DACs-one for each channel-and Onkyo's DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry). The unit is strengthened with vibration-damping machined-brass legs, a 1.6 mm thick flat-base chassis, an aluminium CD tray with silent mechanism, a full-floating circuit board, and a handsome aluminium front panel. For 2011, the Onkyo C-7070 CD player is an extremely versatile and sophisticated piece of audio equipment. It's difficult to imagine how you could improve the humble CD player, but Onkyo's engineering team had plenty of inspiration.
