About the DX-7555

The Onkyo DX-7555 is a high-end stereo compact disc player released around 2006, designed to deliver superior audio quality through noise-free and accurate digital signal conversion. It features a Wolfson Microelectronics WM8740 192 kHz/24-bit DAC, Onkyo's proprietary Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) to reduce digital pulse noise, and a super precision clock with ±1.5 ppm accuracy to minimize jitter. The player supports Audio CDs, MP3-encoded CDs, and CD-R/RWs, with digital outputs via coaxial and optical connections. It offers user-selectable digital filter slopes (Sharp or Slow) and analog output phase control, plus a unique adjustable digital clock frequency for fine-tuning playback. The chassis is built with high rigidity and anti-resonant materials, complemented by a brushed hairline aluminum front panel. Convenience features include a headphone jack with volume control, 25-step memory playback, four repeat modes, a four-mode display dimmer, and Remote Interactive (RI) input/output for integration with other Onkyo devices. The DX-7555 is praised for its smooth, non-fatiguing sound, excellent transparency, low distortion, and realistic soundstage with precise imaging. It is regarded as a solid, dependable player with a high-end design intent, though some users note it sounds best after warming up and may benefit from power cord upgrades.
