Hi all,
I am looking for a good quality DAB tuner (ideally hifi separates size) and something basic to experiment with internet radio to integrate into my traditional hifi systems. I already have 2 excellent FM tuners in my systems so don't need the FM functionality.
With recent events, I've started listening more and more in the car to stations like LBC News, Times Radio and Radio 5 on DAB. My traditional home hifi systems both include strong tuners so I'd like to add a DAB source to my systems so that I can listen through hifi speakers rather than through a portable radio or Freeview.
Internet in my area is extremely poor (average 15-20 download speed and much lower in peak hours such that the computer is hard to use) so I don't want to focus too much on the internet radio side of things but I do like the idea of access to so many stations. So maybe something more budget-end that I can upgrade if ever this area does get a strong broadband.
Both my systems are traditional (Amp, Turntable, Tuner, Cassette, CD/DAC/ipod dock) with speaker cable running through conduits (under-floor and in-wall)to 3 rooms (one system) and 2 rooms (the other system) as I have 1970s Sansui amps with 3 and 2 speaker outputs respectively.
Any suggestions on what might be a good fit?
Many thanks
