The ND-S1000 is the top-of-the-line Onkyo transport and is a much heavier, solid build (all metal build) as opposed to the plastic build of the S10 and S100. It has no more than 50 hours on it-probably closer to 25 hours. It will come with remote, box, packaging and all original contents and paperwork. There are no marks anywhere on it and it is 100 percent in terms of function. Just hook this thing up to your favorite DAC and your iPod will sound better than ever before. The only thing I've seen that is at this level is the Wadia (which you now have to pay stupid amounts of money to get because everyone wants them.). I'll save you some time in research and let you know there is nothing else in production right now that is better than this unit. If you're looking for a HIGH QUALITY transport that will BYPASS THE INTERNAL IPOD DAC, this is it. I have no idea why these are not available for purchase in North America-they seem to be a Japanese product only. I took a chance on this Onkyo unit and found that is was EVERY bit as good as the Wadia. I got this because I couldn't find a Wadia 171i transport. If you're an audiophile like me and care about cd sound quality, you owe it to yourself to check out the Onkyo DX-C390 cd player.I've got a nice Onkyo ND-S1000 I no longer need. I promise you won't be disappointed!Īnyway, I'm finished gushing. If you're an audiophile like me and care about cd sound quality, you owe it to yourself to check out the Onkyo DX-C390 cd player. That AccuPulse d/a converter Onkyo uses really must be something!Īnyway, I'm finished gushing. I'm not saying that the little Onkyo (referring to price not size.) betters those expensive players in all areas, the Sony for example had greater solidity and went deeper in the bass, the Denon had more treble detail, etc., but for $200 you get a player that spreads its strenghts evenly across the board and has no obvious weakness! Remarkable for any cd player, much less one as inexpensive as this. I can honestly say that overall this $200 Onkyo sounds as good as any of them. I've owned several high-end cd players including a Sony X77ES (retail $1700), a Rotel 970BX (retail $600), a Denon DCD-3000 (retail $1200) just to name a few. I'm hearing things on my cd's that I didn't know were there! Wow! This is the best cd sound I've had in my system for ages! The bass goes deep and bounces along joyously! The treble is delicate and non-fatiquing. I normally don't buy those extended warranties but I am glad I did for this CD player because 6th Ave has to keep me supplied with a CD player for the next 3 years now. I paid 170 for the CD changer and then 30 for the extended warranty. Otherwise, stay away from Onkyo and 6th Ave, both for quality and service. I will give this CD player 1 star because I remember liking it when I first had it. I am very dissapointed with the company for thelength of time that it took to fix it, but also the quality of the CD player.

It took over 9 months to get this CD player fixed. The CD player should be the last thing to break in a system. Maybe it was how it was fixed, but this CD player is not cutting it for me. Now that I have gotten it fixed, it is a very obnoxious CD player because I can always hear the CDs changing or the CDs while they are playing. It took so long to get the player fixed that I can't remember how it sounded when I first got it. I can't quite remember how it sounded, but I remember that I liked it when I first had it. My particular CD player worked for roughly a month before saying 'NO DISC' every time I tried to use it.
