Hi all
A friend of mine has asked me what I'd recommend in a new digital radio. Not having one, I said I didn't know, but would do some research and also ask around. Do any of you have one, and if so how do you find it? Digital radio sounds all great, but at my reckoning, if used over a wifi connection to access internet radio or podcasts, it will chew around 80Mb/hour at typical sample rates. That's a fair whack if you leave it running all day, and it's these things that go blowing download plan quotas in no time.
Her main wish list:
1) DAB+ digital tuner with decent display
2) Internet radio - over wifi or ethernet
3) FM
4) iPod/iPad/iPhone connectivity
5) (less important) streaming from Mac or PC
6) Portability - preferably be able to operate away from mains power.
7) Remote
So far I've looked at the Revo Pico ($269 from the ABC Shop) and the OXX Classic ($299 and which isn't portable). Both look good, but the Revo is drawing my attention for its size and portability. The OXX looks the goods in terms of function and sound though.

Any advice from the good people here? There are plenty of brands around - most are new though and I don't know what they're like - such as Sangean, Evoke, ONE & Pure.
