The Sangean DPR-67 should my Grundig Yacht Boy replace 10, who has been with me for many years to the utmost satisfaction. With him I've heard mostly at night on FM music on headphones or information programs before going to sleep. After the volume control is in the meantime defective, replacement was needed. First it was the Technisat 210 but because hum problems with DAB + in the headset mode to the dealer fell. This was followed by the Sangean DPR-67 in black. The delivery was very fast as usual on Amazon. With this receiver I hoped to find a satisfactory substitute. The Sangean is a visually appealing device whose border is rubberized, while the front and back in piano lacquer / plastic optics is carried out, which I like less. Personally, I think nothing of the years lasting sensitive piano lacquer trend; a matt black front and back would be better to face the device. The establishment of the unit was easy. 24 stations were quickly found in DAB mode, the reception was flawless. In FM mode, convinced the reception. He is my Sony ICF-SW55 not after. The operation of the receiver convinces with simplicity. The sound quality of the built-in speaker is satisfactory. Klangwunder but can not be expected from the small speakers. However, this is for me not important because my Hörschwerpunkt is to headphone listening. Sonically can be speaker and headphone mode compare in any way. Here are sonic worlds in favor of the headphone operation between. From the stereo image of my Koss headphones PortaPro and Sony MDR-MA900 I was initially very impressed. Undistorted sound rang out in DAB + music; as long as it was not heard softly. When listening to classical radio, however came the disillusionment. With quiet music passages or pauses in a disturbing humming ceased, the layered music. In the less sensitive Sony this was less audible. In louder music of humming was covered. A phenomenon that I had already stated at the Technisat 210. Battery operation changed nothing thereto. I then Sangean Europe written and described this problem. I was told by Sangean that a slight hum and noise is normal at this unit. DAB + advertises clean interference-free reception. Since a hum has no place, even if he is silent. I have the recipient subsequently returned to amazon. For me, a humming is unacceptable. I see this as a technical step backwards. Apparently suffering from the hum problem with DAB + receiver also from other manufacturers. Here are the same ripple chips used? Wen the hum in headphone mode does not bother, because he already hears loud or only hears over loudspeakers, but getting to the Sangean a good device, whose operation like. My search continues, however. Does anyone know a small DAB + receiver, which meets my requirements?
