I quite like this Pure DRX-701ES radio and definitely appreciate the extra channels that I can receive on it, it is easy to get a good signal even from an internal ariel, and it does sound as good on DAB as much more expensive DAB units on the market - but there is a downside - it is not because this sounds amazing it is because in comparison to high end analogue tuners fed with a decent signal DAB is limited. It could be the bit rates that broadcasters are using, but whatever the reason it is just not as good.

I spend about £1000 a unit in my hifi so a £200 tuner is at a disadvantage anyway, but as I stated earlier it sounds almost the same as much more expensive units and for the DAB format I can see no point in buying anything that costs more, it is great for speech and if you like listening to sports commentary (my main use for it) I thoroughly recommend it, but if you want to "upgrade" a decent analogue tuner for listening to music through then this is not the way to do it.
