I have a Roku/Pinnacle SoundBridge which is wifi only but it does the job well enough. You need to connect it to external powered speakers or through a midi system etc. on the aux setting. Think it was about £50 a couple of years ago but I'm not sure if they are still in production.

Pure Evoke Flow, very nice IMHO, has DAB and FM tuner in it too and the current tech support (I had a recent question to them about firmware upgrading my Pure ONE) seems very responsive, may be £30 off the £150 RRP at Richer Sounds in-store only though.

I have an Intempo GX-01 (£70 from John Lewis) if youre on a budget.Had it 3 months very pleased with it.Has listen again facility on BBC stations.Again mono via speaker stereo via headphones

GX-01 is not bad, I bought one 18 months ago, used daily, still going strong.

I suspect the low price is due to the fact that Intempo went into administration approx a month ago, their website has been down for as long and requests for tech support or replacement remotes go unanswered. So long as JL is offering a rock-solid money back g'tee that lasts, say 1 year, it might be worth a punt at £70.

The Intempo GX-01isnt sold by JL any more but its a contender if i can find it on sale on another site

Sorry to hi-jack the thread

I do not know a lot about these radios.

I started another thread recently about a radio for my father.

Am I correct in assuming that I can plug this type of radio into my PC and listen to the radio via headphones?

Also can you listen to stations on MW for example TalkSport?

Or should I be buying another type of radio in order to achieve this?

Whats wrong with plugging headphones directly into the radio?
Talksport is transmitted in DAB.
