Inner qualities outweigh the rustic exterior

Decisive for the choice of this VR unit was initially only suitable for supplementing a hi-fi system block format. Second, the use of the same excellent music platform (Silicon Frontier) and software as they use Grundig and Freecom in their Internet radios. Large multi-line display and intuitive operation with remote control and the device equally possible. The housing and the back are made of solid metal; the operating front, unfortunately made of cheap, poorly FITTED plastic with cheap snaps whose loud crack memories of the generations of equipment from the Eastern bloc before 1990 can be monitored. But work they are doing, especially as the service over time is mainly with the functional remote control.
The response times of the software, the tuning, load times and stability of the WLAN and the buffering are not objectionable. Although Fritz router is two floors away, the reception is stable and good. Interruptions there are very rarely, with the device itself dials back within half a minute. Most of the better targeting of WLAN antenna is suitable remedy. The station memory with ten places is state of the art. About the Internet music portal of Frontier storing additional favorite stations is possible, and in any number on the radio to save on the Internet.
I have in front of the device compared to the purchase of better processed HiFi component DNT ipodio and connect both devices to the hi-fi system. The sound of the VR Radio is much clearer and recorded as the DNT. The volume level, reception stability and stereo separation are equivalent. When the VR easy humming power supply is built into the housing, the DNT externally in the connector. Because the DNT but the display is only two lines (but the numbers easier to read) and the DNT device operating software and the music portal Reciva is inferior to my impression of the Board, I have finally decided to rustic VR. Only the cheap and rustic design are crucial for a total of only 4 stars. The inner values ​​are full five.
