Which Tuner To Buy?????
Hi all,
Just finished my set up for the moment as you can see below and now require a dab tuner to complete it. Any recommendations for around £150.
Not sure if Pioneeer do one so i can keep everything the same manufacturer.
Thanks

It is possible that you will find that even a £27 Freeview receiver has better sounding radio than many DAB tuners, as they/cable/satellite boxes do digital at higher bit-rate.. Some at £29 have dedicated RCA phono L - R outlets.

Would be a bugger to control though when you consider the fact that hardly any freeview boxes have displays on them...

I know its a tad out of your budget, but the Pure DRX-702ES for £200-250 is an absolute stunner. It's tri-band, so includes DAB, FM and AM.

I can recommend the Acoustic Solutions SP111
(£90 at Richer Sounds)
Guts are from the same source as many other higher priced models, it has a digital output and FM. Mine is connected using the digital out into my AV amp and it sounds good on either DAB or FM.
Review of the previous DAB only unit the SP110
