Onix XCD-50 Reference CD Player (GBP 3250.00)



Just arrived, and with few details to hand, the Onix has wowed us with its superb analogue-like sound quality.  But that's only half the story, for it's superbly put together too, and very sleek looking.   A "fingerprint magnet"?  Yes, probably, but that's one of the things you have to put up with if you like the minimalism of gloss lacquer finish.

Featuring a high quality mechanism with a CD stabilising puck and separate dust cover, it also has both balanced and single ended digital and audio outputs.
