When unpacking the unit makes a solid and high quality impression that it is relatively heavy and looks great. In look of brushed aluminum.
The installation wizard is self-explanatory. The remote control, in particular the "Preset" buttons (= number keys) are a bit small, but with a little practice, works the operation quickly. So now enter the WPA2 key for WLAN's, waiting for something, and the device is already online. Next, the same my favorite station "104.1 KXDD" from Yakima, WA searched and also found. The sound quality is truly exceptional good for a device of this size, with clear treble and rich bass. No clatter, rumble and clatter.
The search for the rest of the Internet radio stations that I already know of apps on my Android smartphone, was then done with the (quite frumpy acting) Frontier Silicon Radio Portal. To note, however, is that the favorites in the portal have nothing to do with the "preset buttons".
The alarm is easy to program, there are two different Weckprogramme available.
Regarding WLAN should be noted that I already on the first day twice had the problem that when you turn it sometimes took an unusually long time until the unit was back online, or even it could not log into the WLAN and listed all the SSIDs of neighbors on. It was not my wireless router, because the rest of the devices could be operated without problems.
On the router, I could see that the Radio Gaga after shutdown returns the leased IP address and fetches when you turn a new one. That obviously does not work quite as well, especially when dialing between other devices into the WLAN or adopt them. Remedy to the problem I was able to create that the MAC address of the radio was now assigned a fixed IP so far. Turning works now easily and above all very fast.
The FM (FM) function has also been tried, but is rather unimportant for me, since I theoretically anyway can also stream all via FM receivable stations. DAB + again I would like to be tested, except there is no such offer in Vienna, as the "official" still on the operating framework argue.
The display is dimmed during standby indeed, for a bedroom that's still too bright. The problem I had with the Philips MC115 system where I have mounted over the display a piece of tinted film for car windows. This was cut and pasted something now on Radio Gaga. problem solved.
Basically, I am extremely satisfied with the purchase.
