It does not take much space, but it hides a good performance, I plugged it on my channel hi-fi, and the sound is good. But it can be used alone. As previously reported, the clock can not be set automatically, contrary to what is stated in the user manual, you must make the settings yourself ... but that's a minor detail. I do not know how you can memorize stations, but I'm 50 !!! In short, a good buy for those who want to benefit from the wealth of Internet radio.
