Designed down to the smallest detail FAST

I have the radio are in the bathroom for the past 2 months.

Since I use it every morning in many different ways, I can now probably give a general "first impression".

I try to avoid the long ramblings and as objectively as possible to deal with the important aspects in my eyes.

1. Delivery and packaging
+ Delivery by Amazon was as always packed rapidly and super.
+ The original packaging is also of high quality and protects the system optimally.
+ Supplied with a multilingual user manual, power cable, remote control + batteries, and the facility itself are included

2. look and feel
+ The plant was meticulously crafted and is unobtrusive timeless design
- The iPhone / iPod Dock is functional, but unfortunately kept in something matt silver and has sunk or bring out from the plant a little too firm pressure point when. But so often you drive the dock also certainly not in or out. So nothing has deterred a.
+ The remote control is also well made, has a pleasant weight. The rubber buttons have excellent tactile feedback. Much better than many, many other facilities.

3. Functionality
+ The online device takes self-explanatory. The device checks during the first logon, which wireless networks are available, you are using the navigation function of the WLAN key and already kanns go!
+ Due to the many different playback options, it is absolutely perfect! -> LAN / WLAN for Internet stations or music files from the NAS / home network, USB, iPod / iPhone, FM radio. TOP !!
+ Access times are also very fast. The device logs in automatically at startup on the network and automatically retrieves the last selected playback mode.
+ As soon as you then connect the iPhone, it takes a maximum of one second to the unit the last played on the iPhone title / album launches
+ The time required to access Internet Radio / FM radio and NAS are also very fast. However, the connection depends to Online Radio indeed partly on the respective operator.

4. Software and Operation
+ Due to the large 2-color display, a good representation of the user interface is implemented.
+ The remote control is like saying super! Everything is arranged logically and you get a feel for quickly navigating through the tree structure of the radio.
+ Radio station can be displayed sorted by genre / country etc. Saving of favorites is self-explanatory. I got the first 7 channels can be saved without a single look at the manual within 5 minutes! Perfect!
+ It's the same when browsing MP3 folders from the home network. This is similar to the Windows tree structure.

5. Miscellaneous
- / + The built speaker is obviously not a space saver. But for low volume and a bit more, it is sufficient. The sound is somewhat dull, I would say as a layman. However, not so extreme that it is disruptive or should discourage the purchase. On the contrary, I like it better than a too clear / bright sound picture.
- The only big drawback I have to give for the blue illumination of the display. Even in standby mode, this is much too bright! I do not know what the unnecessary amount of energy. The display illumination is also the only reason why I do not buy this plant to me a second time for my bedroom. Very bad! A black / white display, in which only light up the numbers easily and it would be the perfect 5 + x Star Radio. So I am sorry to deduct a star. However, be fair to say that (unfortunately) the comparable Radio share this weakness.

I hope I could help a little. If I forgot what that seems important to me, I'll resent this.

I just now but decided to give 5 stars.
Reason: The negative from me as neutral or slightly aspects have the other manufacturers also. In addition, there are little things. So: 5 stars and hope that the successor then gets 5 stars plus.
