Hooked up to a Cambridge amp and Monitor Audio stand mount speakers i get a balanced, very detailed and neutral sound. I prefer the sound of Wolfson dac's over the more common Burr Browns used at this level as subjectively i like the slightly more ' analogue ' sound they produce. It's well built, plays even badly scratched discs flawlessly and supports gapless playback. I've had it for just under a year and the performance for what is a ' budget ' ( GBP 200 ) Just noticed this bumped thread and although i haven't done any mods to mine i thought i'd chime in and confirm what a great CDP the Onkyo is.
#Onkyo cd player c 7030 upgrade
I have now took the dac out of the set up since the changes.imaging, soundstage, detail and deeper bass, and stand out vocals, the c7030 is a different beast now, for a few pounds only you will be singing it's praises,I wouldn't like to guess out much you would have to spend on a cdp upgrade to equal the sound, believe me. I bought the 7030 to use as a transport, the cd player sounded to thin on it's on. The PCB was not shown so I don't have ant idea of how hard it will be to replace these parts Their caps are C403 and C404 and can go to 6800/16v. The head phone amps are also njm4580's if you want to change them too. The caps will all be big but it will be OK to have long leads with the body in the air.
You will have to determine the package type yourself since it does not say on the schematic.
The op-amps are Njm4580's and can be changed to LM4562'S.
C327, 328 are for the op-amps and should go to 6800/16V. C308 is ref for the DAC and can go to 1000/10V. C303, 306 are for the DAC and can go to 4700/10V.
