.....and in 99% of cases the streamed version is significantly better quality than the miserable bit rates (and mono only is some cases) offered on DAB.Not sure I get the point of am\fm and dab radio in the home. In the car yes. Just about any radio station these days can be streamed via t'interweb.
My remark was meant to be tongue in cheek, but it was actually true the last time I seriously looked into this a couple years ago (UK radio stations only) and I haven't seen anything to indicate otherwise since, eg:The trouble of stating 100% is someone always finds the odd ones that are different
You forget that DAB's streams use ancient MP2 compression, which is about a third less efficient than MP3 - so 128kbps DAB is equivalent to ~96kbps MP3 internet radio, not 128kbps.ClassicFM MP3/Heart London MP3/Smooth Radio MP3 are all 128kbps as are their DAB streams
Indeed - that's why I'm not giving away that 1%.Though whether they are worth listening to is another matter. DAB/DAB+ was such a missed opportunity destined to quietly die in the corner due to lack of interest.
...and the not inconsiderable difference in price now that the N10 can be picked up for as little as £330!So is the only difference between this and the N10 the dab tuner?
Ooh, I might treat myself!

Also love how promo pictures never ever show any cabling. The placement in that photo would have the antenna hanging from the ceiling.
I only bought the CEOL N10 in April. I don't need DAB radio so an upgrade would not make sense.
I assume you can connect a turntable which has it’s own pre amp ? Could anyone confirm ? Sorry, bit of a novice.I was really expecting an update to ceol because im thinking about buying it, my hopes were that denon upgrade it to have a turntable input and capability to use bluetooth headphones. It seems no one of my wishes have been granted
About the N10? I think you can't find anything better at that price. I used to have the N9 and this one is much improved in connectivity and sound quality thanks to a new burr brown dac. I wonder what's the difference between the N10 and the n11 aside from the DAB...would that justify an upgrade?What do you think of it mate, thanks
Have the BBC’s live radio streams ever been removed from the TuneIn station list integrated into the DENON/HEOS platform? Not sure how up to date this year-old list of affected devices/platforms is but there have been at least some revisions since the changes were made last August.Bizarrely I can get the BBC national stations (6 Music, 5 Live etc) through Tunein on the Internet Radio input. Thought they’d been removed ? At least can get never get them on my Apple Homepods natively (which also uses Tunein)
