Can anyone recommend a DAB receiver?
My mother wants one for Christmas, but I haven't got a clue what I should be looking for

I'll drop into work tomorrow and I'll find out the name of the two models for you that are really good.

Be cautious when buying DAB radios, a lot are hit and miss - either good or really bad. Also there's a lot of DOA (Dead on arrivals), so don't be surprised if the package is already opened when it gets to you from whatever retailers. (thats my job

)

Cool - thanks

I just want to get her something that will be suitable and that works (obviously!)

Exactly.

Whats the budget?

You can get a good one for much cheaper.

This is one we had a while back. Richer Sounds Ireland
It has my recommendation. Sounds good (even when i had the volume up), solid build quality and looks nifty.

It has no USB connection for connecting to PC - but I can't imagine your mother would be using that?

Because the West of Ireland has no DAB, we only ever sold two - and they were both posted to dublin

No prob. And also, they'll always haggle with you on price, so you'll probably get it for about €80 - €85.
