Solid piece of equipment which impresses with the intrinsic values ​​....

I was wondering if I give 4 or 5 stars, where we already were in the single Kritkpunkt: the quality of materials. The radio comes in a simple black plastic. "Made in China" the imprint. The front row of keys would again be taken by a dentist under the microscope ;-) Especially the ON -OFF button is wrong, even here to see the product photo on Amazon already. The pressure points of the buttons are available, but my volume button must be pressed past the pressure point fixed so that they do their duty ...

Otherwise you have to say to the rest: TOP !!!

I have for several years a SONY XDR S56DBP which I can use for comparison. Its processing and materials are top notch. The size of both devices is nearly identical (acts at Amazon somehow larger). Nevertheless, the DAB14 comes with 2 speakers (can therefore also true stereo). The Sony has unfortunately only one. Biggest complaint about the Sony was at that time the volume too low. Although sufficient in 95% of cases but for the remaining 5%, the DAB14 !! much louder !! and with a perfect size for this sound.

The battery life is indicated here with 4-5 hours. 2800 battery (AA 4 times) I'm coming loose at 8 hours and about all that with DAB and medium volume.

Of others was the newsletter reports of poor reception. This opinion I can not share. The DAB 14 has a much better reception as Sony, partly it reaches the antenna only raise without pull them out. Tested at many sites with always this result. Perhaps DUAL has done something to the software (to myself DPR3990 + V1.14)? In addition, the DAB 14 can In this respect, what what Sony can not: DRC (Audio dynamic range compression)

Also described by others not given stability with extended antenna I can not confirm. Just back off the left foot ...

Another advantage over the Sony: the DAB 14 maintains the battery exchange all information that is not investigated and Sony again until the sender and deletes all times beautiful memory :-(

The unit was in Blitz offer for 45 euros and that's an unbeatable bargain ....
Even the regular 79 euros the Amazon, it is definitely worth it calls ...

So who is annoyed by the constant advertising of public and private computing on the hour and half hour --- >> increase by on DAB and enjoys it !!
