To put into perspective........my current tuner  pure 701

I've owned

sansui t80

nytech ct252

quad fm4

quad 66 tuner

quad 77 tuner

denon tu260mk1

the 701 falls down around the 260 in performance ..this with a loft mounted aerial. The quads provide the best sound but now most stuff is compressed and is brought down to the level of dab ...a deliberate move ?

But the tuner is mainly used for rolling news 5live .....so the dab is well ahead of the am reception.

Music wise radio 3 has gone down hill quality wise but can still be quite good .......

Another reason for the dab tuner is I can feed a digital signal to my quad 99 to using the dac and preamp functions. This gives a far better sound than the stand alone performance of the unit.
