Audiophile player CD, DVD-V and DVD-A playback; 24-bit/192kHz DACs; separate
transformers for its analog and digital sections; sturdy build. This was $1800 new. This is an awesome CD player that I've had as part of my music system for many years. I used it exclusively for audio CDs.The only thing to mention is the CD mechanism makes a low level of noise when CDs play that is audible only when there is no sound, this has never bothered me and this was something that was always present with the CD player.

About the Onkyo DV-S939
From
its brushed-aluminum front panel to the extensive "jack pack" on its
back panel, Onkyo's THX® Ultra-certified DV-S939 remains one of the
finest DVD players we've used.
When watching DVD movies on a
High-Definition TV or HDTV-ready TV, choose progressive-scan video for
top performance. A 480-line progressive-scan (480p) image has twice
the picture information of a regular 480-line interlaced (480i) image.
Every DVD will look clearer and smoother, with razor-sharp flicker-free
text when the credits roll — just like sitting in a theater. And the
bigger your TV screen, the more improvement you'll see. (This player
also gives you a terrific picture with a regular TV, using interlaced
mode.) A dazzling audio performer as well, the DV-S939 plays
DVD-Audio discs. Immerse yourself in up to 6 channels of high-resolution
96kHz/24-bit music from your home theater system, or 2 channels of
ultra-detailed 192kHz/24-bit sound. Freed from CD's 16-bit limitations,
DVD-Audio transports the musicians, instruments, and recording space to your
room. The DV-S939's advanced D/A converters, top-quality parts, and
rock-steady drive mechanism will reveal new musical details on your
regular CDs, too. Check out the back panel (see "More Photos")
and you'll find 2 full sets of A/V outputs (even 2 component video!),
and 4 digital outputs (2 coaxial, 2 optical). Specialty jacks include a
DB-25 5.1-channel output, and an RS-232C port for future software upgrades!
