What is it: DAB mini system with integrated CD player
What we think: As a DAB mini system the SC-EN9 performs well enough, but its plastic speakers and average audio performance will tempt many to opt for a dedicated DAB rather than this multitasker

| Review summary | Though its DAB performance is good, the SC-EN9's CD playback is undermined by the basic plastic speaker enclosures. In trying to keep the price of this integrated system down, Panasonic has kitted it out with some very limited components. Though the SC-EN9 is great for casual use in a bedroom or kitchen, it's no charmer 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 |
A superb mini hi-fi with loads of DAB features, including the useful pause and rewind live radio ability, great SD card support and decent sound quality. We'd love to see network support and a lower price, but that apart it's a killer system Read full review |
