"High-end product, built in the true Arcam tradition. Let down by poor quality DAB signals"

What I like:

Quality feel, ease of use, good sound (apart from the poor quality of some DAB broadcasts)

What I don't like:

Expensive, the frustration of owning a great product which cannot meet its full potential

Review:

I have owned the DT91 for about two months, I bought it because all my other equipment is Arcam and I am a big fan of their products. As has been said a number of times, the main flaw with the DT91 is really no fault of its own, it is the almost criminal amount of data compression the DAB signals undergo before they reach the ears of the much put-upon British public. There is a myth, that if a transmission is in a digital format, then it must be good. The biggest fault with this product is that it demonstrates in the clearest possible terms that 'the digital emperor is not wearing any clothes.'
