After our CD radio in the kitchen for a little over 2 years (what a coincidence that the warranty has expired, the smells still formally on the planned obsolescence) we have held for a new device out. But this time we did not spend as much as last time, because we want to hear really for cooking and eating now and then some music either on CD or MP3. Since the Auna was MCD 300 Design Mini plant of our previous similar visually and technically size, we opted for this device. After unpacking the device looks really not bad. Fine piano finish on the front, solid glued wood grain foil on the speakers. At one edge / fold was a little gap, but only noticeable upon close inspection. Since we are the plant on a shelf on the wall and the table is about 2 feet away, but we do not care. The sound corresponding to an average high-compact system. Especially bass are virtually non-existent at first, so that some songs sound a little weak on the chest. However, you can unlock a loudness function by remote control, the aufpimpt the sound somewhat. But since I do not so much like that, I simply added in the settings Treble and bass a little more and now it sounds quite good, so that it is sufficient for our needs. At dinner I would anyway have no bass thunder in the background, but apart from the fact are compact systems of the order in any case not for designed a Klangwunder represent. Playback of CD or MP3 via USB connection works perfectly. A hum or similar noise can not be heard. Who likes can optionally also play WMA MP3 instead. At the beginning of cover for CD player hooked up a little, but this has done after 5, 6 times open and now rises without hesitation. Probably that was a bit warped, but as I said now the lid is on finger pressure on immediately. The reproduction or the reception on the radio is also very good, with even more channels can be saved. But I recommend it equal the manual to take at hand. I initially tried the intuitive to the motto Learning by doing a man needs to do no manual, did not work out. : O) Optional is the possibility front headphones (3.5mm) einzustöpseln (we do not need), behind both the antenna cable connection on the radio the regular radio connection of the house / apartment (usually the plug next to the TV outlet in the wall), and connect the compact system to an external system or to connect an external device via stereo RCA. So we are really happy even after a few weeks with the device. Hm, the radio in the bathroom begins to make slow to problems
