The Onkyo DXC390 is a CD player with 6 disc capacity, MP3 playback, coaxial and optical ... more
digital outputs and full remote control. Featuring a high quality build and a choice of black or silver finishes, the DX-C390 is an excellent multi-disc player.
Advantages: Great Picture, incredible soundstage Disadvantages: video artifacts after 3 DVDs CD audio lacking body
I used a TX DX 777 Onkyo WRAT receiver and a set of Vandersteen 1 2 way floor standing speakers and a Samsung LCD T4871F TV. The audio connection was a Toslink and the video HDMI both low priced parts. My system is set up for surround sound and my speaker levels and placement have been set by using a sound pressure meter and distance measurements used in the DX777.
This player is Brutal in it's accurate reproduction of video and cd music. If you put in a so so DVD this player will show you just how so so it is, I do not care what resolution you set it at. The better the quality of the DVD the better the picture will be. I found it to be the same with audio. My bargin CDs sounded just that way, bargin basement, but put in a DDD CD and you could hear the difference. The sound stage is fantastic. The speaker no longer exshist, the music ...
Advantages: Good bass beat vents that allow air movement for better sound projection Disadvantages: Ear pads may wear off after 4 to 5 months
I bought this headphone in August from a shop selling electronics. Basically, this headphone provides extra bass to your ears and the ear cushions perfectly align with the area around your ears, which offer maximum comfort in long periods.
I found that the headphone's bass beat vents are actually made of Neodymium magnet, which enhances bass performance and greater sensitivity. The sound quality is average. When you play music and adjust it to a loud projection into your headphone, the person beside you can actually hear some sound.
Cable wise, the SHS390 comes with a single-sided cable. This means that the cable is only connected to just one side, to reduce the risk of entangling the cable, which previously happened to me when I was using other headphones.
However, the bad side of using this headphone is that, it does not ...

was a bit compressed sounding until now!)
- build quality and looks, you can feel the quality!
- compact physically
- Price (i would of happily payed a lot more for something this good!)
- Buy it in black!
Bad bits:
- the remote is silver (why not black Onkyo? unless your men packed it wrongly. i also feel that the remote doesnt tie in with the rest of the system as i feels a bit cheapish (not that i care about this anyway, i'm just telling you.)
- would have prefered gold plated conections but all they have tried to do is keep the cost down to keep us cheap skates happy, and would'nt make much difference anyway apart from maybe getting a bit corroded in time. Having said that this unit uses proper high grade components, so they have put the money in where its needed most.
On a personal note, i really do love this ...
