What is it: Micro hi-fi with DAB/FM/AM radio, CD and tape
What we think: This microsystem is a mixed bag. It's good as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough

| Review summary | This microsystem is fine just for general use, but overly complicated setup procedures, limited equaliser options and reliance on the remote let it down Read full review |
Managing to combine DAB, FM and Internet radio in an attractive, compact and above all affordable package is no mean feat, but Revo has pulled it off with the Blik RadioStation. While the sound quality might not match the finest systems DAB has to offer, we feel most people will be more than happy with it Read full review |
Arcam has a well-earned reputation for quality ear candy, so we're not surprised to find that in evidence here. If you're pushed for space but can't face giving up the finesse of your hand-picked hi-fi separates, this is the logical solution Read full review |
PURE has dealt up one of the smartest DAB hi-fis we've seen so far. Rich, clear tone and a credible CD player will please any DAB listener. If you're a radio fan this is by far the best way to listen to DAB. The currently low bit rates of digital broadcast mean anything more is overkill, and anything less won't sound quite as good Read full review |
