Fred (fredt300b): your Onix XCD-88 CD player   Message List

Re: Fred (fredt300b): your Onix XCD-88 CD player

I haven't tried it as a transport, but I anticipate it would work
about as well as any other mid fi player. The Phillips transport is
far more solid feel than those on mass market DVD players like the
Toshiba. The power supply and clock circuit are typical of the under-
$1,000 players, but the aftermarket modders do offer an upgrade
package for owners who intend to use it only as a transport, which
includes the installation of a Trichord Research Clock 4 with
dedicated power supply, silver wire to an upgrade Cardas output jack,
etc. With these mods it might be a respectable transport.

Fred, How do you like your new Onix XCD-88 CD player? How does it compare to Scott Nixon DAC and your modified Toshiba? Thanks! ZB...

For those who aren't familiar with this player, it's the same player as the popular mid-fi Music Hall CD-25, made by Shanling, rebadged under the Onix brand...
