Premium DAB DAB+ Digital FM Radio with CD Player, Bluetooth Speaker System, USB Charger & MP3 Playback - High Quality Sound, Alarm, Equalizer & Remote Control (AZATOM Trinity White) - Perfect for Home, Office & Outdoor Entertainment

Most of these units (Majority, Soundmaster etc) are really copies of Ruark's R4, since the Chinese don't seem too troubled by intellectual property rights - probably made in the same factories too, albeit on a cheaper production line I imagine. Azatom though seem to have at least had some input into the design here. At first, before I even knew about Ruark, I bought a Soundmaster DAB950. It was a good unit really - solid Aluminium front panel and false wood veneer, with a metal plate on the back. But it didn't have a line out, poor Dab reception and limited EQ settings. I then really really wanted the Ruark R4 but couldn't justify the price for just myself.I returned the Soundmaster and after a lot of research bought this Azatom. The Azatom has uniquely (even the Ruark doesn't have this) a small colour LCD that gives quite a number of extra settings, such as loudness, finer DAB control and details, and different themes (you can change that analogue clock, I must be the only customer who doesn't care for it here). It also has a line out which means you can add better speakers for a mini hifi setup (I bought the great value Azatom SPX1000 soundbar too). Though, I use a great Golvely BT headphone transmitter from the headphone jack and use the line out to a reel to reel tape deck (the usb charger port allows it to remain on all the time too and the headphone socket makes sense due to the lag of BT). It's then like a cut price basic hifi receiver of yesterday with the needed retro look. As someone else mentioned too, headphone and aux in on the front is very well thought out, as is all other inputs to the side. Bluetooth is quick to connect. It found 64 Dab stations immediately (The Soundmaster 4). FM is empty here but that doesn't bother me as sadly it's dying away. Nice non slip feet and great mercury powered remote with buttons on the unit in case you lose it too. Between EQ settings on the Trinity and the SPX1000 soundbar a very decent sound quality can be achieved. All in all, great value and well featured.Inevitably at this price it is not perfect: The build quality is quite good but the Soundmaster was better (30 quid more too) The front plate is a pressed aluminium rather than solid and the CD port seems to have no felt protection, with some worrying looking jagged edges (works absolutely fine though and your CDs will be safe). The rear is plastic but looks solid enough. The faux wood surround (walnut here) seems very good though. It has less amplification than the 32 watts would suggest, especially through the headphone socket for output to the soundbar - the Soundmaster's 30 watts seemed more, but it's more than adequate.I think it's a total no brainer for the money unless you can afford, without blinking, a Ruark R4 Mk III (still want one). A 3 year guarantee and a better online support presence from Azatom seal the deal for me too.Edit: The jagged edges I mentioned earlier turned out to be no more than packing matter. This unit has been 100% reliable and a bargain, I feel. Totally reliable now in 2023.
