DAB for £100??

Hi folks, just got my new system sorted ou, running a nad amp with 2 monitor audio br6s.

I'd prefferably like the NAD DAB reciever to go with it. However, it's £350!

Are there any decent DAB Tuners to go iwth seperates for around the ton mark?

I might have to go to richer sounds!

My main worry is sound quality, have i got anything to worry about at that price?

Cheers folks...

My advice? Go to Richer Sounds. Pay particular attention to the Cambridge Audio Azur 640T.

I've got a DAB tuner from Richer Sounds. It's been good enough for me.

Re: DAB for £100??

The Acoustic Solutions SP111 has the same Radiscape guts as one of the more fancy brands - the DAB section is essentially and 'add in' card.
I have one for less than £100 it's a decent DAB and FM tuner and doesn't look out of place, depends if you're bothered by the Argos branding
I feed the digital output direct into my amp so digital to analogue is done by denon but the analogue output is fine too.

Re: DAB for £100??

That was the first DAB radio I got about 4 or 5 years ago.
Its not a bad radio but I changed it for a pure evoke 2xt and a Roberts Gemini RD 49.
These portable radios have a much better signal than the SP110 which could only pick up the BBC and D1 and Kent muxs but now can get the London and Essex ones to.
I think this is a newer radio so might be a better signal.
