By C. Hamer TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
The Revo Heritage is a high end Internet Radio with many many other features.
As others have said it is near the top of the price bracket meaning it is in the same league as the Pure Avanti Flow or Sensia and the Roberts WM201

The radio has a very nice ultramodern look with a bit of throwback retro classic in the mix.
In short, it looks fantastic - also anyone who owns any apple products will like it as it is the same brushes aluminium :)
It does not just look good, the controls are nicely laid out as well, buttons are there only when necessary yet i love the 5 presets which can be set differently for each playback mode - there are 5 presets on the machine yet the remote lets you store an aditional 5 which are then only accessible by the remote.
The only part which some may object to is the at times fiddly joystick control system. Personally I don't mind it but then again I mostly use the remote as it is closer to hand.
Of course once we have the buttons, it is difficult to ignore the screen, and what a screen it is.
The screen is OLED like the Pure evoke flow/sensia yet is a much nicer cyan colour rather than Pure's garish green.
It is sharp crisp and has a decent size of font - something that I found the other Revo's lacked as the typeface was so small it was almost illegible.

Of course the main reason you are going to buy this is for its radio functions, and it delivers once again.
FM and DAB/DAB+ is delivered nicely with very good reception - on par with and at times excelling Pure's DAB radio's which I rate quite highly for their good reception.
Yet the main reason you are going to buy this is its Internet Radio functionality. Again it delivers. You have access to hundreds of thousands of stations the world over.
These stations are organised by country - and region/state if applicable which makes finding your favourite station easy.
You can also enter URL's of the more obscure stations that it may not have on file - I have never had a problem with it not automatically finding a station although I have entered URL's so that I could listen to higher quality streams.
It also comes with a Region specific preset - i.e. UK stations for UK german ones for germany etc. which is useful for accessing some stations quickly.
It is important to note you can save as many station as you want to your favourites and it will always give you access to the last 4 station you listened to.
The wi-fi signal strength is also very good something very important with such a radio...
Now the part you probably want to hear most, Sound quality,
WOW is how I'd describe it. It is the cleanest reproduction i have ever heard from a radio this small. It may only have a single driver but it really does not matter. It sound Fantastic. My only gripe would be that the volume should be limited lower as it distorts at high volume but that is seriously loud for such a small device. Bear in mind this is in the same room as some B&W 685's so it has some serious competition, yet i still think the sound reproduction - especially at low volumes is awesome.
It also functions as an ipod dock which can also be used to wake up to in the morning - great for charging your ipod before a heavy day's commuting.
The interface is very fast as well which makes it easier to use.
There are functions that I don't use like the Last FM and media server functionality but I would expect these to be pretty damn good as well.
It also has a hose of outputs including an awesome of addition of an Optical Toslink output great for feeding an internet radio signal into high end hi-fi equipment!
The last thing i want to draw attention to is the most important part to me.
This is the only internet radio with decent speakers I could find that would allow you to listen to Internet radio as an alarm. The rest - pure evoke flow, pure avanti ect will not. Something which pissed me off greatly with the evoke flow...

So all in all a great device with very few problems I can truly recommend it, it may not be cheap but it is a damn good investment, in my opinion at least.

It looks great, sound quality is superb and it comes with every functionality you could ever think of in a radio. I absolutly love the Last.FM connectivity. Listen to the music you REALLY like. Everybody should have one.

This is a superb radio / ipod dock. It's at the top end of the price bracket for its category but it has absolutely everything that you could wish for in terms of features - DAB, DAB+, Wifi Internet, FM, IPod dock, etc, etc. As I say, for the price, you would expect all that. However, what you also get is a fantastic sound quality, really intuitive and easy-to-use controls and it just looks so uber-cool in a non-flashy way. It will charge your IPhone / IPod and you can use the remote to control the IPod. I've got it in our kitchen which is quite a large room with high ceilings and it still manages to fill it with impressive sound. I love it!
