VLSC
™
(Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry)
In conventional digital-to-analog conversion
methods, it’s impossible to completely remove
noise. This noise taints the analog signal and
ultimately degrades the sound emitted from your
speakers. With Onkyo’s VLSC, though, data is
continuously sampled between two discrete
points—via a signal comparison generator—and the
difference is joined with analog vectors in real time
to produce a smooth output waveform. The VLSC
digital-to-analog conversion method results in an
accurate, virtually pulse noise-free audio signal that
faithfully reproduces the acoustic detail and subtle
nuances of all your audio sources, and breathes life
into digital media.
Thermally Regulated Crystal Oscillator
and Jitter-Cleaner Device to Stabilize
Clock Frequency
The C-S5VL boasts an extremely precise clocking
mechanism that controls and coordinates the timing
of all digital signal processes—a bit like how a
conductor directs and coordinates the individual
instruments of an orchestra. The C-S5VL uses a
state-of-the-art crystal oscillator that achieves a
frequency deviation much lower than that achieved
by a conventional oscillator. As the circuitry is
designed to stay at a constant temperature, the
oscillator frequency remains stable at all times.
Stability is also aided by a special “jitter-cleaner”
device that works to reduce the effects of jitter in
the master clock. Thanks to the C-S5VL’s precise
clocking abilities, you get to enjoy an accurately
realized sound field and clear separation of
individual musical instruments.

Wolfson
®
Microelectronics 192 kHz/24-
Bit DAC (WM8742)
The C-S5VL features a high-performance Wolfson
192 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converter with
DSD bit-stream support for the advanced digital
audio of Super Audio CD. This DAC incorporates
multi-bit, sigma-delta architecture to optimize the
signal-to-noise ratio and maximize tolerance to
clock jitter. On the C-S5VL, the WM8742 has been
configured to support a Digital Filter Control
function, which lets you select from five different
modes for CD and four modes for Super Audio CD
(plus DSD Direct). With this DAC on board, you
are guaranteed a pristine conversion of digital signals
into analog audio output.
High-Grade Build Quality
When it comes to parts and construction, it’s just
not in Onkyo’s DNA to cut any corners. The
C-S5VL, naturally, is no exception. Build quality starts
from the ground up with a highly rigid, 1.6 mm-thick
chassis that provides excellent protection against
shelf-borne vibrations. A heavy-duty inlet cord,
meanwhile, delivers a reliably smooth power supply.
And 19 mm-pitch audio terminals are specially
designed to accommodate high-grade cable.
