    Sound quality.


    Bad Points: None really


    General comments: The Matsui DA-1 DAB Digital Radio works all over my house in a marginal area where other receivers have failed completely (see my Ferguson frg-120d review for example!)

    Screen is easy to read as long as you prop the tiny radio up at a suitable angle.

    Stick the aerial up with some blue tak and you're away!

    Note - this is not a portable radio, but a 'tuner' to be added to an existing system with an 'aux' input free. As far as I am concerned it is highly recommended.

    Available on ebay new for around 25 pounds.

    I am generally quite pleased with the Matsui DA-1 DAB digital radio, which I have connected to my surround sound system. It sounds great over the speakers with no hiss.

The wire antenna can receive them, but you have to hold the wire taught, and when you let it go the reception is lost.

    For the price I have paid I am very pleased with the unit.

    Note: You have to buy an additional lead to connect it ...

    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 syste ...

    The Matsui DA-1 is a great way of getting into DAB radio at minimal financial risk.

    The product concept is very simple - it's a digital tuner that plugs into your existing stereo and allows you to access DAB radio.

    There's no built-in amp or speakers so you have to a stereo with line-inputs already but if like me you have more than one of these in your home the Matsui is surprisingly portable. This is due to its small size, low weight and the fact that the aerial is just a piece of plasti ...
