Lazarus 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The sound quality is STUNNING. I'm amazed - absolutely no hiss at all. None. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hope it does AAC+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 47680 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I've got one an'all. Huge difference. Especially if you're listening to MW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I've had one for a while, I'm not 100% convinced by them though. Yes, the sound quality is excellent,but they seem very sensitive to signal strength, where you put them in the room, which direction the aerial is pointing. Some channels are crystal, others so bad I go back to fm / mw. Worth it for xfm alone mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I've got one an'all. Huge difference. Only if you're listening to MW. FYP. The reality is that to fit all the stations in the bitrates used on stereo music stations are pants. Hence the future upgrade to AAC+: http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/articles...-years-time.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11126 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 one of those things where I only really listen to the radio when I'm on the move. My folks have one in their front room and the sound quality is great, anyone know if there are stereos with DAB or AAC+ (whatever the hell that is) built in? Dad is not a fan of clutter and would prefer it if everything operated from one box in the corner, with one easy to use remote. probably where I get it from tbh.

Gemmill 47680 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Aye, you can get stereos with DAB on them these days (no idea what that AA thing is). From canny cheap an'all - Tesco were doing a little one a while back. It probably wasn't great, but the prices are obviously coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all either bills or savings ... which will now lead to a stream of whining old farts who'll complain that "such is life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4ever 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 AAC+ is a new compression format that the broadcasters are going to be using for DAB in the near future. Unless you buy a DAB radio that is capable of receiving this (or can be updated via USB or something) you will be missing out on new channels and better audio quality. That is partly the reason they are dropping in price so much of late; this announcement was made in November 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You can get Sony midi systems for about £100 with a DAB radio. I got one for over here. Didn't have to pay like, making it even cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 BACKGROUND: Mrs hips bought master hips' ipod nano off him and gave it to me for christmas. Aaaaaaaanyway, I bought a radio connection from Marks & Sparks last week after being told it did both FM and AM; it only does FM I hardly ever listen to FM. Thing is, Markies wont take it back once it has been opened! £35 virtually wasted {tbh} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
