"Pricey but worth every penny"

What I like:

range of inputs and menu access

What I don't like:

short time span to choose menu selection

Review:

Bought this after much comparison with Teac, Denon and Onkyo alternatives. This looked much cooler and had a larger lcd screen for information. Also much preferred the menu selection using rotary dial and press for selection.
Bought the console version to feed into my Kef 104ab speakers and Minimus 7W speakers. Sound quality was superlative.
Disappointed that some DAB stations are in mono.
Original antenna replaced with home made slim jim antenna in my attic which moved my station hit from 18 to 42!
My only downer is that with talk of DAB+ have had no reply from Pure regarding future upgrades either of software or hardware.
CD performance is just as quick as my separates system which is not a cheapo setup.
Startup from standby is a couple of seconds at most not a problem.
I can access and load the SD card from my PC, Mac and Linux computers which is fine.
Stylish, a little bit retro and satisfies all my aural desires!
