I have never been interested in DAB, preferring to listen to recorded media and fm instead. This radio appealed primarily because I can stream from my pc. I have had the istream revival for about a week now, and here are my thoughts:
pros:
1. build quality is very good (though not perfect, watch out for bubbles in the veneer which can easily be sorted), but does feel like its built to last!
2. Connectivity - very good
3. Its made in the UK... this is a big plus for me.
cons:
1.can't manage your favourites list from the radio, you have to go to a pc...
2. sound is mediocre at best! the manual quotes 1.0 watt of output, and it sounds very weak (particularly at low volumes).
3. when off, the clock only shows when its running on batteries. How much juice does an lcd display need?
4. Price, I just expected more for £200.
other:
1. I have a USB dac/amp (ibasso d4), would be nice to be able to use it with this radio! Now that would be a truely portable single solution.
2. I bought some 3000mah rechargeables foolishly thinking that they would do the job, but barely make 5 hours of wifi listening. I have since ordered some 10000mah batteries, If I get 15hrs I'll be happy.
