Excellent product for the price

"I just hooked this tuner up to my audio stack last night and I love it. I knew what I was buying and it did exactly what I expected it to do. For the price, you can't beat it. I had been considering going the Rotel way with their HD Radio Tuner, but it was around $900. This was one tenth the cost to get into HD Radio. The pre-sets allowed you to go from station to station without delay, just like channel surfing..." Read Full Review »

HD Does NOT mean

"For [$] after rebate this is a decent tuner. However, the hype over "HD" radio is way overblown. HD means Hybrid digital NOT High Definition (high bit rate). Unless you are seriously hearing impaired, there is NO WAY you'll agree the sound is "CD Quality". Sure, there is no static when you pick up an 'HD' channel, but the audio is so compressed (due to bandwidth issues obviously) that the increase in sound q..." Read Full Review »

It's a steal

5.0

"I own many very high end tuners. This tuner has selectivity, sensitivity, and performance figures that exceed even my most expensive tuner. It does all this with the magic of DSP. With DSP, you are capable of having virtually 'perfect' IF filtering, FM decoding, and audio processing. It's too bad …" Read Full Review »

Great FM receiver

★★★★★

5.0

"This is an outstanding analog FM receiver. It is obviously designed for HD-Radio reception and does what seems to be a good job on that, but there are still far more regular, analog stations and that's where this receiver really shines. It's ability to reject adjacent channel interference is superb. …" Read Full Review »
