Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

Advantages: Great DAB
Disadvantages: No FM/AM

...A very good DAB clock radio, allows you to set a weekday or weekend alarm, stylish snooze handle and clear time display, great sound quality and good DAB reciver - more expencive than other but worth every penny! Good extending ariel also allows use in more rural areas, has no FM/AM tuner although this is not really a disadvantage as most traditional stations also broadcast on DAB. The clock raido function is also very smooth and automaticaly swithces to buzzer if no DAb signal can be found. Local radio stations both comercial and BBC can suffer from a poor signal even in cities this can be remidied by extending the areil that comes with this radio. All in all a very good buy for the home easy to use... Read review

Advantages: Price, Sound Quality, Looks, FM Backup
Disadvantages: Small button controls

...Just got one of these for £29.97! I've no real previous experience of DAB, but the sound quality is absolutely first class, and it's very user friendly too. I've read many other reviews of DAB on other sites, with people banging on about how the £200 Pure radios are in a class of their own. At the end of the day, I'd much rather just invest a modest 30 quid in the Intempo - it's hard to see how other radios could possibly be worth the extra expenditure. This also has an FM tuner included, so it provides some back up if you take it on holiday to an area with poor digital coverage. Overall, a great product - looks good & sounds good - what more could you ask?... Read review

Advantages: Possibilty to get huge improvement in sound quality
Disadvantages: May need a proper aerial. May not work in your house.

...In the interests of disclosure, I used to sell these products. What is this little beauty, you may ask? Well it's a DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) tuner. It will also receive conventional AM and FM (until the switch off (in the UK, at least) starts next year (2008)) signals. Like all the Cambridge Audio Azur range, it comes in black or silver. It's well specked for connectivity and its solidly built. Now, until I started selling Hi-Fi, DAB hadn't really crossed my radar. A friend had a DAB portable radio and I know some cars have had them for a while. So what is DAB? I'm going to have to get a little bit technical and I don't want to patronise or bore, but I will try to keep it simple. Firstly, its digital broadcasting. Remember the old analogue cellphones? They used to get a bit scratchy when you were too far away from the base... Read review
