Onkyo*s new top of the linę Integra DX-530 compact disc player incorpo-rates a novcl opto-coupling technique, together with the addition of a host of new control features. The opto-coupling technique is claimed to produce a clearer and morę natura! sound, free of any edginess.
The DX-530’s random 20-track musie calendar shows the track numbers in the order in which they will be played back, in addition to the single track currently playing, as wcII as playing time.
Two-times oversampling/digital filter-ing is used, doubling the normal sam-pling trequency. This raises the lower
