Intempo RDI

The iPod doesn't have a radio, let alone DAB, so an iPod speaker system with a digital radio built in has to be a good idea -- Intempo's RDI docking system is that good idea, and it offers a sleek design, good reception and impressive sound quality for the price

Editor's rating 7.3

PURE Digital Chronos II

PURE Digital's Chronos II is an excellent DAB radio and alarm clock. Its looks maybe simple, but it's very easy to use and a doddle to set up too. Sound quality is good and you should have no problem picking up the major DAB stations in your area

Intempo TRS-01

The Intempo TRS-01 DAB radio is small and lightweight so it's easy to move around. It can be powered by four AA batteries, which last a good while, or through the mains. The TRS-01 is available in a variety of colours to suit all tastes and reception is great for such a small set

PURE Digital Move

PURE Digital has made a name for itself with attractive DAB radio systems, and the Move pocket radio doesn't buck the trend. It's small enough to be truly portable, with a built-in rechargeable battery, backlit display and good sound quality, although it does lack bass

PURE Digital Evoke-1XT Marshall Edition

The PURE Digital Evoke-1XT Marshall Edition is a DAB radio that can be cranked right up to 11 -- it looks cool, sounds great and is really easy to set up. It does lack treble and bass controls, but for a kitchen DAB it rocks

Editor's rating 8.4

Denon S-81DAB

The Denon S-81DAB is a reassuringly well-built CD player and radio with integrated amplifier and an iPod dock. Connectivity is good -- the unit includes an AK-P100 dock which lets you plug your iPod straight into the Denon for complete playback control -- and it puts up an excellent fight performance-wise

Editor's rating 8.5

Roberts Gemini 19

The Gemini 19 bedside DAB is a useful fellow who will appeal to anyone who needs a radio to wake them up with a daily dose of Brahms. Its Classic FM button is something of a cheek, but its reception is up to the usual DAB standard and its audio quality perfectly fine for drowsy mornings

Roberts Rambler RD-76

Robert's DAB formula is an appealing one: take an old design from the catalogue, strip out the insides and replace the analogue circuitry with brand-new digital components. This continues with the RD-76, which is available in a rainbow of colours, and sounds perfectly acceptable for when you're doing the washing up

Editor's rating 7.3

Dualit DAB Kitchen Radio

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

Editor's rating 8.4

PURE Digital PocketDAB 1500

Although pocket-sized DABs are still bedevilled by reception problems, the 1500 is a welcome improvement. It's rather bulky, but relatively solid and well constructed, with well organised controls and a clear, bright LCD that offers lots of information

PURE Digital Bug Too

PURE Digital's Bug Too is the follow up to the very successful Bug. It retains its distinctive, kooky design, which has inspired so much polarised opinion, but it has added an electronic programme guide so you can pre-record your favourite shows, and 20 alarms to ensure you get out of bed in the morning

Arcam solo

Mini systems are often considered the hi-fi choice of dilettantes, but the Arcam solo, which integrates a 100W amplifier, CD player, FM and DAB radio, seeks to change that. The system borrows its components from other tried and tested Arcam models, such as the DT-91 -- an impressive heritage that explains why the unit sound so good
