Take your music listening to the next level

From its sleek brushed-aluminum front panel to its sophisticated audio circuitry, Onkyo's C-7070 is one class act. Based on their decades of experience and know-how, Onkyo designed the C-7070 from the ground up to give you exceptional sound from your CD collection. This versatile player even lets you plug in an iPod, iPhone, iPad® or USB thumb drive to enjoy the best possible sound from your portable music library.

Heavy-duty construction for crystal-clear sound

You'll immediately notice the C-7070's solid feel and refined looks, enhanced by its heavy metal chassis. The player's die-cast aluminum disc tray combats resonance, and employs Onkyo's silent disc mechanism for super-smooth and quiet operation. Add machined brass feet plus a floating circuit board design, and the result is a player that's fully equipped to conquer the performance-robbing effects of vibration.

The C-7070's twin Wolfson WM8742 DACs (one for each channel) run in a dual-differential configuration, ensuring high-accuracy digital-to-analog conversion and rejecting noise to provide stunningly lifelike music reproduction. Onkyo's DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry) and precision clock mechanism dramatically reduce distortion and timing errors, commonly referred to as "jitter," for highly involving sound that will get your toes tapping.

Plays your CDs and powers your headphones

The C-7070 will play standard audio CDs as well as MP3 and WMA CDs and CD-Rs/RWs. And you can plug your favorite headphones directly into the front-panel jack without the need for a separate amp or receiver. Onkyo included a dedicated headphone amplifier with a full-size jack and a volume control for outstanding private listening.

Features

Disc Compatibility: The Onkyo C-7070 single-disc CD player will play Audio CDs and CD-R/CD-RW discs (12cm/8cm). It will also supports playback of MP3 (32-320kbps; 32/44.1/48 kHz) and WMA (32-192kbps; 32/44.1/48kHz) files recorded onto CD-R/RW discs in ISO9660 Level 2. The CD player can recognize up to 99 folders and up to 499 files per MP3/WMA disc.

Silent Disc Mechanism w/ Die Cast Tray: Affixed to four supports made of rigid machined brass, the C-7070's CD drive provides excellent resistance to internal vibrations. Furthermore, the disc tray is precision engineered from high-rigidity, die-cast aluminum. Thanks to these advanced design features, the disc mechanism offers smooth and silent operation.

High-Rigidity, Anti-Resonant Chassis: Build quality of the Onkyo C-7070 starts from the ground up with a highly rigid, 1.6mm thick, fully flat chassis and solid aluminum front-panel that provides excellent protection against shelf-borne vibrations.

Floating Circuit Board Construction: Rather than being directly connected to the chassis, the main circuit board inside the C-7070 is "floating" to protect it from sources of vibration. This method of construction prevents vibration from the chassis and CD drive mechanism from adversely affecting the circuit boards or creating signal interference; which adds up to longer life and cleaner audio.

VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry): In conventional digital-to-analog conversion methods, it's impossible to completely remove noise. This noise taints the analog signal and ultimately degrades the sound emitted from your speakers. With Onkyo's VLSC, though, data is continuously sampled between two discrete points (via a signal comparison generator) and the difference is joined with analog vectors in real time to produce a smooth output waveform. The VLSC digital-to-analog conversion method results in an accurate, virtually pulse noise-free audio signal that faithfully reproduces the acoustic detail and subtle nuances of all your audio sources, and breathes life into digital media.

Dual Wolfson 24-bit/192kHz DACs: High-quality Wolfson digital-to-analog converters work to optimize analog audio performance on the C-7070. The player incorporates two 24-bit/192kHz WM8742 DACs. 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-analog conversion.

DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry): Since the advent of digital audio, signal-to-noise ratios have improved dramatically. However, the S/N ratio reflects static noise only, and takes no account of another type of noise that occurs as the byproduct of sound reproduction; dynamic noise. To reduce this type of noise, Onkyo has developed DIDRC technology for use in their hi-fi components. 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. Such distortion in the super-high-frequency range can generate "beat interference", which in turn affects the character of the original sound. By improving linearity and reducing distortion in the super-high-frequency range, Onkyo's DIDRC technology effectively reduces perceptible noise and delivers clearer audio.

Precision Clock (+/-10ppm):  The C-7070 boasts a precise clocking mechanism that controls and coordinates the timing of all digital signal processes (like how a conductor directs and coordinates the individual instruments of an orchestra). The C-7070 uses a state-of-the-art crystal oscillator that achieves a frequency deviation of ±10 ppm, much lower than with a conventional oscillator.

Custom-Designed Massive EI Transformer: Powering the CD Player, is a massive, custom-built transformer that provides a clean and stable power supply.

Front-Panel LCD: The Onkyo C-7070 features a front-panel LCD which can display the following disc information - Time Elapsed/Remaining, File/Folder Name, Song Title, Artist Name, Album Name, and Sampling-/Bit-rate. You can adjust the brightness of the display from Normal, Dim, Dimmer.

Controls

Remote Control: The Onkyo C-7070 single-disc CD player includes an IR remote control for wireless operation of the player and basic playback functions of a connected USB memory device or Apple iPod/iPhone. There are also basic playback controls located on the player's front-panel.

Direct Track Access: The numeric keypad (0-9, >10) of the remote control can be used to directly access a track or file on a disc.

File/Folder Mode: During MP3/WMA playback, you can choose to search for files (songs) within a folder or on an entire disc.

25-Track Memory Playback: You can create a playlist of up to 25 tracks/files per disc.

Random Playback: In Random playback mode, all of the files on a disc are played back in random order.

Repeat Playback: In Repeat playback mode, you can playback an entire disc repeatedly, play one track/file repeatedly, combine it with memory playback to play a playlist repeatedly, or combine it with random playback to play all tracks on a disc in random order repeatedly.

Audio Filter: You can select what type of digital filter is applied to the PCM data prior to D/A conversion for analog input output; this will switch the response inside and outside the audible bandwidth. You can choose from Standard (uncolored sound with good overall balance) or Soft (Mellow attack with richer resonance).

Auto Standby Function: If the CD player is left stopped for approximately 30 minutes, the power will automatically turn off, placing the unit in Standby mode. If playback is simply pause, the power will remain on even after 30 minutes have elapsed.

Connections

Analog Audio Output: The Onkyo C-7070 single-disc CD player is fitted with a set of stereo RCA analog audio outputs to connect to your home receiver.

Digital Audio Outputs: The Onkyo C-7070 features two digital audio outputs; one optical (toslink) and one coaxial (RCA). The player's digital outputs support 16-bit/44.1kHz PCM (2ch).

1/4" Headphone Jack: The Onkyo CD Player features its own built-in headphone amp with a front-panel 1/4" headphone jack and independent volume control. Connecting a set of headphones to the front-panel 1/4" jack does not mute the player's audio outputs (you will need to turn down the volume on your receiver).

USB Port (iPod compatible): The unit's front-panel USB (type-A) port allows you to connect a USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) compliant device; such as your Android smartphone, portable digital audio player, or USB thumbdrive. Your USB MSC device must be formatted in FAT16/FAT32 and contain MP3 (8-320kbps), WMA (5-384kbps), or AAC (8-320kbps) music files; the unit will recognize up to 499 folders and 499 filers per folder.
