General Comments

The Matsui DA-1 is a very neat product. Basically you plug it directly into the Tuner (or similar) inputs on your HiFi or other amplifier, plug the unit itself into the mains (via a transformer) and you then have superb digital radio reception. It is very small, has an inbuilt antenna (no trailing wires) and a good remote control. For the remote you can switch between 10 pre-programmed stations or browse through dozens more.

So for £60 (or less) you can convert your existing sound system to Digital radio. Cool!

    I'm very dissapointed with mine!
    It's got a terrible aerial (a small piece of wire) and no RF socket to connect it to any other external aerial (like a house aerial).
    ONLY BUY IF YOU LIVE IN A REALLY GOOD DIGITAL AREA. I'm surposed to, but still get a very poor signal, or sometimes no signal at all.

    Also the display is very small and because it's black on blue, you have to be close to see what station you are tuning in.
