DAB Tuner Separates... Please Help!

[greenphotos]

Hiya all, haven't posted for a while, but I would really love some help in deciding to buy this:

SONY STSDB900 DAB TUNER
http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/2007/source/kelkoo

Has anyone got one or can they tell me if it is worth it? I can get it cheaper from a Sony Friend so I would not want other brands)

Thanks!

I have that tuner and found it to be slightly "bright", although I now have it playing through a NosDAC which takes the edge off it.

The only few drawbacks are that it only has a single TOSlink output for digital use and it does not have a 'standby' position for power only an on/off button.

Very easy to tune-in the various stations providing you follow the instructions in the handbook.

At the moment I only have a piece of wire for receiving the DAB channels but in my area I receive four muxes usually at 90+% signal strength although sometimes my local radio station drops to 60%, combining the DAB tuner with a Freeview box I get a good range of stations.

At the price I paid for it I thought it was a good buy.

Thanks

If it's about £100 I might get it.. will have to see

(Reason for getting it is that my NAD FM tuner has awful reception with the arial I've got, I can hardly pick up any stations. Might get a enw arial too.. any thoughts?
