Digital Radios

PURE Digital Evoke Flow

The Evoke Flow makes it a piece of cake to listen to online stations on a portable radio, thanks to its Wi-Fi connectivity, built-in search engine and online portal for storing presets. It also has DAB and FM tuners, looks smart and offers excellent audio and build quality

Tivoli Model DAB

The Model DAB radio with FM and AM tuner is a cracking machine. Its buttons, switches and dials are a tactile delight, it sports a classic design, it sounds fantastic and its tuner is first-class. If you cough up a fairly large amount of cash, you'll get a radio that feels as good as it looks, and sounds even better

Roberts Revival RD-60

In purely technical terms, the retro Revival RD-60 DAB radio with FM tuner isn't particularly great value for money. But, if you're a radio lover more in terms of the device than the medium, it won't disappoint -- the RD-60 feels solidly built and looks stunning

LG FA163DAB

LG's latest CD micro system is the FA163DAB -- catchy, huh? -- and with it comes DAB radio and iPod docking functionality. There aren't a million iPod-compatible DAB systems in the world, and even fewer that conform to this form factor. Plus, the FA163DAB costs less than £200

Tangent Cinque

The Tangent Cinque combines a DAB radio and CD/MP3 playback in an all-in-one system. Available in three glossy colours or a walnut effect, the Cinque will fit into your kitchen or bedroom perfectly. Overall, it's an attractive system that looks the business and sounds great

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

Onkyo T-4555

Audiophiles will adore the Onkyo T-4555 DAB/AM/FM tuner, from its stylish brushed aluminium design to its readiness for the pending upgrade to DAB+. This separate makes a quick job of tuning and reception is excellent on a range of stations. This is a premium investment for premium sound

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

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

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

Arcam DiVA DT-91

Arcam has a fiercely earned reputation for high-end stereo equipment aimed at those who would happily describe themselves as audiophiles. The DT-91 is a well-built separates unit with both analogue and digital audio outputs, and if you can cope with DAB's low bit rate, is an option well worth considering

PURE Digital Evoke-3

PURE Digital's Evoke-3 is the latest iteration of the company's Evoke series of kitchen radios. It offers a number of improvements over the Evoke-2XT, including new filters on the custom-designed speaker drivers, a slick EPG (electronic programming guide) and an improved battery life

PURE Digital DMX-50

The DMX-50 calls on PURE's expertise both in small speaker-cabinet design, and in higher-end digital-to-analogue conversion circuitry. It integrates a CD player and a 40W RMS amplifier, looks more expensive than it is, and offers rewind and pause of DAB playback. Sound quality is good too, as far as DAB allows

Sony ST-SDB900

Sony has delivered a strong offering to the entry-level hi-fi enthusiast. At this price, the ST-SDB900 is an exceptionally capable tuner, with ease of set-up and sound quality at the head of its list of attributes. The currently low bit rate of UK DAB broadcasts hinders its performance, though

Editor's rating 7.5

PURE Digital DRX-702ES

The DRX-702ES is ostensibly the most high-end DAB radio unit we've looked at. Within the inherent limitations of current DAB radio broadcasts, it's equipped to deliver the fidelity of sound that audiophiles demand -- its impressive specs suggest that the weakest link should be the broadcast source, not the receiver

Yamaha CRX-M170

A mini system that will capably replace your existing hi-fi system in one fell swoop, the CRX-M170 integrates a 50W stereo amplifer with subwoofer output, a DAB radio and a CD player into a single unit -- we were surprised by what this fairly compact unit can deliver
