dnt IPdio Clock
We purchased the radio in the electric market for 79.99 euros. The packaging was stable, but not particularly well fixed the device itself in a box. In addition to the IPdio besides PSU also a remote control with was supplied.
Despite the low price, the dnt IPdio is well made. The polished plastic surface gives the radio even a fairly sophisticated touch. In addition, the device is quite small and unobtrusive, so it can be easily put to this already exists hi-fi components.
The connections of the radios are quickly counted - because there are only two. On the one hand the connection for the power supply and, secondly, a 3.5mm audio output. About this we have connected a 2.1 speaker set and enjoy now about the music. An additional speaker system is also highly recommended, since the built-in speaker (the low for its but size, after all, quite nice sounds) can not keep up with the normal "stereo speakers. So if you want to experience the Internet Radio and the associated quality totally coming on a speaker purchase not around. But since the IPdio is one of the best Internet radios, should still have enough money left over for a 2.1 system.
The operation of the radio is really intuitive (and I do not write just for fun, but I'm serious). This is partly due to the large display and not too many options. So lacking as the ability to adjust the bass or treble. The real reason for the ease of use, however, is the hub of push- button "with which one can zap quickly and without studying the manual through the menu. Quick one has his 5 favorite stations to the presets. When one of these stations beyond further want to listen to radio stations, then it is advisable to look after these stations by name or country of origin. This is quite fast and even by the 1171 German channel one has scrolled quickly thanks alphabetical order.
Well, and then there is also the reception and the sound associated with it. Again, there is nothing to complain about. Although we only have DSLlite streams the IPdio reliable all stations without long buffers (64kbps or 128kbps whether). Here, the sound is always great and in my opinion even not worse, than the corresponding FM counterpart. Particularly connected to our stereo is the sound of absolute madness.
Technically reception can also expose nothing. Despite the unfavorable situation of our router, the radio has always between 60-80% receive. When you start the device, it takes about 35 seconds to boot and where the radio transmitter, the deal puts online. Then can they hear music immediately. Some stations have when switching, however, still about 5 seconds are buffered, but this is probably our DSLlite than the IPdio.
CONCLUSION:
Finally, can only say that anyone who can dispense with a simple operation, a reasonable price and great sound quality and emphasis on too many settings and connections absolutely can not go wrong with the dnt IPdio Clock. Rather, he finds convincing in the device a daily companion, day after day.
