Sonos ZP80 review

Like its amp-equipped predecessor the ZP100, the ZP80 is a delicious treat in a field dominated by over-complicated music-streaming hardware. The ZP80 loses the amp and wirelessly distributes music from your home computers to up to 32 different amplifier and speaker setups. Configuration is almost non-existent and audio quality is delectable Read more

PURE Digital DMX-50 review

The DMX-50 calls on PURE's expertise both in small speaker-cabinet design, and in higher-end digital-to-analogue conversion circuitry. It integrates a CD player and a 40W RMS amplifier, looks more expensive than it is, and offers rewind and pause of DAB playback. Sound quality is good too, as far as DAB allows Read more

PURE Digital DRX-702ES review

The DRX-702ES is ostensibly the most high-end DAB radio unit we've looked at. Within the inherent limitations of current DAB radio broadcasts, it's equipped to deliver the fidelity of sound that audiophiles demand -- its impressive specs suggest that the weakest link should be the broadcast source, not the receiver Read more

Arcam DiVA DT-91 review

Arcam has a fiercely earned reputation for high-end stereo equipment aimed at those who would happily describe themselves as audiophiles. The DT-91 is a well-built separates unit with both analogue and digital audio outputs, and if you can cope with DAB's low bit rate, is an option well worth considering Read more

Eclipse TD 307PA review

The Eclipse TD 307PA redefines what small speaker systems are capable of. A far cry from the weedy aspirations of PC surround-sound packages, the Eclipses are acoustically transparent reference monitors in the smallest package we've ever seen -- and they've a price to match Read more

Dualit DAB Kitchen Radio review

Dualit is hardly a posterboy for subtlety and, true to form, this DAB is a glittering muscle car of a radio. If you're familiar with Dualit toasters, you'll have an idea of what to expect. It's brash, ostentatious, obscenely heavy, durable and seriously macho Read more

Denon TU-1800DAB review

Denon has done its best to make DAB an acceptable addition to the hi-fi separates system, but the medium's quality just isn't up to scratch at the moment. This is the best we've ever heard DAB sound -- but it's still nowhere near as good as a CD Read more

PQI mPack P800 review

Our biggest gripe with most portable media players is their cliquey attitude to reading video. There are scores of video types out there, not least DivX, which is the feature-length movie format you're most likely to come across on the Internet. So, it was with a girly shriek of glee that we discovered the mPack plays almost every video format you can imagine Read more

PQI mPack P600 review

For portable movie watching the PQI mPack P600 is hard to beat -- the 100mm widescreen TFT LCD is sharp and vibrant, it's one of the biggest we've seen on a portable player. Also especially impressive is the P600's ability to feed full-resolution video to a massive external display Read more

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB) review

Though it's not as small as the new iPod, and its interface doesn't trump the Clickwheel, the 30GB Zen Vision:M is a real video player -- while on the iPod, video remains a novelty. It's slightly more expensive than Apple's world-conqueror, but the improved screen and number of video formats available more than make up for it Read more
