B & O Beocenter 6-26 DAB

Advantages: Great all round personal DAB
Disadvantages: The battery meter sometimes makes you think there's less life in it than there really is

...This personal DAB radio is excellent. Small and lightweight, what more could you ask for. The Nevada ND-01 has to be one of the best value personal DAB radios around. The controls are easy to use and not too fiddley unlike ssome of it's competitors. It has the ability to store 6 FM and 6 DAB presets as well as handy features like a key lock so you don't accidentally de-tune or blast your eardrumbs by accident. The sound quality of the radio is excellent and the DAB reception is remarkably good for a personal DAB radio. I live 30 miles north of london but am still able to receive the London multiplexes. Excellent radio and excellent value for money. Ignore the comments about the CD and Cassette, it doesn't have one.... Read review

Plug it into a QUAD amplifier however and the tuner reveals its true quality. I listen to Radio 3 a fair bit and the dynamic range of the signal that you get from DAB just blows FM out of the water. Not all DAB radios are alike. A major problem with all DAB transmissions is that they can be very patchy - and speaking as someone who... Read review
