Remote Control for Onix CDP WANTED

[speakerman1]

Could be the DACs the transport who knows. I didn't look at the 15. I looked at the 10. That is about it. I didn't research the transport or the DACs. If I was buying it I would have. That is just me though.

Hugh...do you have the technical information for the CD-1 and CD-3? I'd love to see the differences in those units compared to the CD-10 and CD-15. I think it was you who told me that the CD-10 and 15 represent the third generation of this CDP. I am just curious to see what the generational differences are, and why whey were used. I am guessing better op amps, and just plain better component parts available from Texas Instruments and other companies. What is your take on the gnerational changes...and most important, since you have lived with these units and they are your babies....does the sound from these units improve with the changes, and is it slight, and only discernable with the best innerconnects, power conditioniong, etc... What is your take on the whole maturation of the series of players?

What is your favorite Onix player in the sub $1,000.00 price range?

I am not truly versed about CD-1 & CD-3 since they were carried by av123.

I found these reviews though.

Onix also came out with CD-5 later on but I'm not familiar with that model.

From what I understand, Onix cdp mirrorred MBLs' so my statement of CD-10 & CD-15 being 3rd generation is solely based on the release of CD-1 & CD-3 and then CD-5 and then again CD-10 & CD-15.

I also understand now CD-10 is in the same piano black finish as the rest of the lines.

I did have a CD-1 when it first came out but I gave it to one of our sons. I liked CD-15 the most in the sub $2K category.

The one we've been using at various shows is the top of the line XCD-50 which I prefer over the comparable MBL one.

OTOH, in my reference setup at home, I use Lector CDP-7TL MKIII and I love it.

Keep in mind Synergy is the key.

It may or may not matter how much money one spends for his/her setup, everything got to work together to give the best SQ.

I stay away from giving my opinion since one man's trash is another man's treasure or vice versa.

Even when we developed our own Trinity speakers, our dealers asked 'How do they sound' and my answer to them is you'd be the judge.
