PURE Digital PocketDAB 1500 review

Reviews DesignThe PURE Digital PocketDAB 1500 is not far off the size of the original iPod, at 65 by 110 by 21mm. This is an inherent part of digital radio listening, and it's hard to blame PURE for the laws of physics.

PURE Digital Bug Too review

Reviews The rear of the unit sports a dizzying array of inputs and outputs, including power, USB, digital optical out, headphones, line out and aux in. Perhaps it's fitting that such an odd looking gadget should be the flagship for DAB, since digital radio...

PURE Digital Chronos iDock review

Reviews We saw it last with Intempo's £130 RDI system and now we're looking at the Chronos iDock -- a £90 offering from DAB aficionado PURE Digital. Should you not need the iPod functionality, check out any one of PURE's usually impressive line-up of...

PURE PocketDAB 2000 review

Reviews While the initial launch of digital radio (DAB) confined itself to dedicated receivers that were far from portable, companies like PURE have been busy finding ways to pack these DAB radios into smaller and smaller packages.

PURE Evoke-2XT review

Reviews PURE's first Evoke digital radio picked up a shelf-full of awards, and version 2 improves on a winning formula. Simply plug it in, switch it on and press the Tune button to start searching for available digital radio stations.

DAB radios for hi-fi nutters

Reviews All these digital tuners have been built under the assumption that you love radio to the extent that a psychologist might be interested in your case. The offerings on show here range from Yamaha's attractive mini-system all the way up to PURE's...

Digital radios with recording features

Reviews The PURE Digital Sonus-1XT isn't a true recording radio, but it does have built-in record timers and an optical out, enabling you to connect it to a MiniDisc player and record programmes. Finally, the PURE Digital Bug has a wealth of recording...

Intempo Fusion preview

Reviews Back in December of last year we explored the DAB-enabled world of iPod docks for the first time, with Intempo's RDI (and two months or so later with Pure Digital's iDock). As a radio and iPod dock, it's about as simple to use as it can be, with...

Intempo RDI review

Reviews It's priced at an appealing £130, making it only slightly more costly than alternatives from DAB specialists PURE Digital. The iPod doesn't have a radio, let alone DAB, so an iPod speaker system with a digital radio built in has to be a good idea.

Sony XDR-S1 review

Reviews The back is devoted to the power lead, a line-in/out and a digital-out, while the side has a neatly hidden headphone output. Replete with every major radio band, Sony is obviously aiming to ‘do digital radio’ more comprehensively than any other...

Tangent Cinque review

Reviews PURE Digital's Evoke-1S has one of our favourite two-line display incarnations -- it's a bright OLED with terrific contrast. A 'live pause' feature similar to the ReVu feature on PURE Digital's Legato II would also be something to give the system...

Sony ST-SDB900 review

Reviews The ST-SDB900 doesn't have the wealth of inputs and outputs that the PURE DRX-702ES sports, but because the Sony has digital optical outs, you've got everything you should need. At first glance the ST-SDB900 is a solid unit with both analogue and...

Sony XDR-S20 review

Reviews Given how well Roberts and PURE have implemented rotary tuners on their digital radios, it's a shame that the S20 ignores this method of tuning. The tuning dial on the S20 is a fruitless effort to reinvent the wheel -- the radio signal may be...
