I use the Pure Evoke 1 at home. £99.

There was a recent UK delivery but alot of retailers including myself have sold out allready. Pure are in stock take at the moment so I can not let you know the UK stock position.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

mickymcd2,
perhaps Richersounds have some pure evoke left, also for £100. If you have a left over amplifier and speakers, you can get superb DAB Tuners from richersounds as well.

I read something about DAB the other day.
Something about the quality not being as good as they promised and them admitting `standard` FM was better !
I think that may have been BBC only though ?

dunno if that is any help

would it not be better to get a freeview box - does it not have radio channels too and only £80 - £90 and free digital tv .....

A reqular FM tuner has better sound quality. I would only reccomend getting a DAB if the radio channels you want are only availble that way.

Remember just because it is digital doesn`t mean it is better quality - streaming music on the net is digital.......

I think alot of the DAB radio stations are becoming availble on Freeview - that may be a better choice too.

Radio 3 on DAB is beter than FM. IMHO.
