XFM DAB Radio review

Reviews The XFM DAB looks like a white plastic sausage, with one edge shaved flat. There's also an aux-in and -out connection so that you can hook up another unit (like an iPod) to it, or run the DAB radio through your stereo.

Dualit DAB Kitchen Radio review

Reviews If you're underwhelmed by DAB, or are having reception problems, FM frequencies available to the Dualit range from 87.5 to 108MHz. Dualit is famous for its chrome toasters, so it may seem like an unexpected move for the company to produce a DAB radio.

Revo Blik RadioStation review

Reviews There have been plenty of DAB/FM and Internet/FM combinations, but never a single product that delivers the ultimate triple whammy of DAB, FM and Internet. The Revo Blik RadioStation is probably best described as the ultimate radio, as it's the...

MP3 players with radio

Reviews Cowon's iAudio D2 DMB (DAB) not only features an FM radio, but also comes with full DAB support. Having both an FM and DAB radio is really handy when you're on the move, since DAB, being digital, can be patchy when the signal drops even for just a...

Onkyo T-4555 review

Reviews At around £300, Onkyo's T-4555 DAB/AM/FM tuner is not a cheap separate. To the rear sit gold-plated stereo outputs, alongside DAB, AM and FM aerial connections. Onkyo has prepared its attractive new tuner for the pending upgrade of DAB to DAB+, by...

Reviews To change bands, you simply press the FM/DAB button, then find the stations using the Tuning knob or the Up/Down buttons. It picks up both DAB and FM broadcasts, enabling you to keep a foot in both worlds, and has some high-tech features, including...

Philips DA1000 review

Reviews As is the norm with most pocket DAB radios, there are five buttons on the front: DAB/FM, Menu, Preset and Info, and at the centre sits a well designed toggle that both navigates the menus and controls the volume and stations.

Denon TU-1800DAB review

DAB radios for hi-fi nutters

Reviews We were all given the impression that DAB would be superior in quality to FM, but the problem is that UK broadcasters don't transmit at a quality that's even as good as a standard MP3 file. The difference of course is in the reception, which is...

Arcam DiVA DT-91 review

Reviews The unit is noticeably lightweight -- an inevitable consequence of the minimal size of the electronic circuits needed to operate a DAB/FM combo these days. DAB stations in the UK use bit rates that continue to disappoint us (as low as 80Kbps), but...
