Diverse device with weaknesses

I have the Dual Radio Station IR10 worried me as the successor to a Philips Streamium NP3700. The Philips had finally complete misfire and actually works never clean. The dual device has an equal resistive display as Philips, the quality is worlds better. Very good response and not income. The operation is very easy via the touch screen. Many options. Internet Radio (via LAN) works perfectly and also the DAB + receiver seems to be pretty good to me. It was the only device that I had tested what has brought me a receiving station less about. Also streaming over DLNA from NAS works perfectly. iPhone dock I could not test.

One point deduction's for the FM Tuner. He's worse than a 1 Euro giveaway. Zero reception.
I really liked the power consumption. In Standby 1 watt and operating 3 watts (depending on volume).

Another drawback is the sound. Maybe I'm spoiled by Philips. The sound was and is the best I've heard in this price range and size. Dual here sounds genuinely modest. Almost blächern. Since the equalizer does not really help. In addition, he has a slight noise at each source. In normal speech, although it is almost imperceptible, but it testifies not just of special quality.

In summary, the device has a very good service and reliable software (which you can incidentally be found again in other Internet radio stations). For the price I would have wished for a better sound. The weak FM tuner could then get over.

The device goes back unfortunately. Try my luck now with a Pure Sensia ...
