Wonderful all-rounder both on the table as to the wall.

After unpacking you have the following items in front of him: The device itself, a stand, a remote control including battery, a printed Quick Start Guide, a power supply, an FM wire antenna and finally a drilling including dowels and screws.

On Package Contents you can already see that the device with your foot can be used as a standalone unit, as well as can be mounted on the wall without making the site very flexible. The device itself has an attractive appearance. The device is kept in discreet dark tones. From piano black to the gray fabric covering in the pit to a harmonious picture emerges which is complemented with chrome trim. Further visual highlights are the fold-Lightning dock which is invisible when not in use, as well as the motorized CD cover.

The unit is very good and easy to use via the buttons on the device as well as the remote control. The sources USB, CD and Apple Dock can all operate on the same principle.

The device has the following sources (internal and external):
* CD: Here you can play normal music CDs, and even compiled. It will also play CDs with MP3 and WMA files. Tracks and folders can be selected separately.

* USB: Here Unfortunately recognized only FAT and FAT32 drives. NTFS could not be recognized, which is why I could not try hard drives. Again MP3 and WMA files are played. Tracks and folders are also selected separately.

* Apple Lightning Dock: Only the current models are supported by Apple which use the narrow Lightning connector. For this, however, the total product range of iPod, iPod nano on iPhone up to the iPad and iPad mini. Docked the existing music can be played and the Apple device is loaded at the same time.

Conclusion:
The Philips DCM2068 is a highly recommended all-rounder in my eyes. It looks chic and sounds very good in spite of the compact dimensions. Setting and operating facilities are also very good. The optional stand or wall mounting are a plus. The selection of playable sources also leave nothing to be desired. Only Ster downside I could see is not recognized by NTFS formatted media.
