Images Product Buy Onkyo DX7555 Audiophile Single Disc CD Player Now Give the player plenty of break-in, at least 100 hours of continuous playing time - out of the box, the sound is rather flat and lifeless, but it will open up. Oh, and it makes a superb transport for an external DAC as well. I have heard upgrading the power cord makes a worthwhile improvement in sound quality, pity Onkyo chose to make it captive (no IEC socket). The adjustable filter does have a subtle effect, but I don't find it to be a dealbreaker one way or another I slightly prefer the "slow" setting.

The build quality is as excellent as people have said - better than a lot of $2k "audiophile" players I've seen.

While it should work great in an affordable setup, I have no hesitation whatsoever using it in a high-end system costing several thousand dollars either. It's on the warm side of neutral, so use the best, most transparent ancillary components you can - no euphonic detail-robbing interconnects or the like needed. After some very light modification, it's even better, but I'd be perfectly happy living with it indefinitely in stock form. I liked the Onkyo so much, I bought the review sample. But where most of the music is -the midrange - it is up there with the very best. It's not perfect - at the very extremes of both dynamics and frequency range (bass, treble), it cannot match the best high-end players for clarity and impact their massively overbuilt power supplies and analog sections give them the edge. Whether it be a sultry Ella Fitzgerald number, a soaring oboe solo or a climactic string passage in a Mahler symphony, music is just that much more poetic and engaging through the Onkyo. The midrange is so sweetly articulate, it has a way of bringing out all the little twists and turns in a musical phrase without being the least bit bright or etched like many hyper-detailed players. It's a quality I've heard before from the better bitstream DAC chips, and the Wolfson DAC employed is a great one. but what really grabbed me was how beautifully it conveyed an abundance of musical detail in such a natural and unforced fashion. The breadth and depth of the soundstage, the density and tonal completeness of instruments, the warmth of the bass, the sweetness of the treble. Then the Onkyo came along, and it was clear that for Redbook CD reproduction, there was no contest - it beat my modified Sony in every way. While some were very good, none really tickled my fancy to the point where I wanted to replace my previous reference, a heavily modified Sony SCD-C222ES SACD/CD player. Over the last several years I've auditioned a number of high-end CD players and external DACs, many critically acclaimed and costing up to $4000.
