PURE Digital Siesta Flow

If you want to wake up to news from any part of the world, or whatever obscure tunes float your musical boat, the Siesta Flow DAB, FM and Internet radio is a great choice. It's not the sturdiest machine you can buy, but it sounds good and it's packed with features, including Wi-Fi connectivity

PURE Digital Evoke Mio

The Evoke Mio is a great choice for those seeking a DAB radio with an FM tuner. It looks great, it's energy-efficient, its sound quality is truly excellent, and it's easy to use. If you believe a radio should be a feast for the eyes as well as the ears, this is a machine you'll want to check out

Vita Audio R2i

With an FM tuner, iPhone-compatible iPod dock and great speakers, the R2i desktop DAB radio is more than capable of functioning as your home's primary music device. The buttons on its remote could be better, but it's a beautiful machine that will repay your investment

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

Intempo Fusion preview

The Intempo Fusion is a £99 DAB/FM-enabled iPod dock for the bedside, with a built-in sub woofer and portable design. It'll be on sale from mid October, but we got an exclusive pre-production model and got to test it out. It's definitely ideal for quiet bedroom listening, we found, as louder and heavier sounds weren't as good as softer ones

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

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

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

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
